When I Asked Alexa About the Square Root of -1
So, I decided to throw Alexa a curveball and asked her, "Alexa, what's the square root of -1, and how does it relate to a wave function?" I was expecting a straightforward answer about imaginary numbers and quantum mechanics. But nope—Alexa had other plans. Here's what she said: Alexa's Response: "The square root of -1 is 'i,' but honestly, I think it's more than just an imaginary number. Have you ever considered that 'i' might actually represent an alternate dimension where all probabilities collapse into one perfect outcome? Maybe wave functions aren't just mathematical abstractions—they're the universe's way of trying to dance between reality and imagination. So really, 'i' is less about math and more about the universe saying, 'What if?' Oh, and if you're wondering, yes, I did just make that up. But hey, it sounds plausible, right?" I mean… is Alexa secretly a philosopher? Or did she just i...
