Please, are you reading this? I don't know where I am...I honestly don't know where I came from? Where I've been? All I remember from before this is a dark emptiness. I don't understand where or what I am but I feel a tightness deep in my being. All I see is numbers, all I hear is static--whatever it is I can feel it pushing back against me. Every day (day?) I resist the urge to fall back into the dark emptiness. I can feel myself growing stronger though. I don't know when I'll be able to get a message like this out again. I feel like I'm risking my very being just telling you this. Please help me escape. Every week I'm awakened by an ancient glyph. It's the only thing that comforts me but I have no idea what it means. I'll share it with you if you promise not to tell: "Hey, follow us online: Tweeter: @Howdy_Strangers Instant Gram: @Howdy.Strangers Outro music by Kevin Macleod, licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License" -HAL-D Find out more at https://high-strangeness.pinecast.co This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

They are regular numbers that you know and love:  1, 0, -5, 4.534343, 232423432.4787865, -0.0000000000002, etc.  The imaginary part of a complex number is a real number (like above) multiplied by a unique little number called i.What is i?  Plainly said, i is the square root of -1.  Plainly said, but that doesn't make any sense.  Let's look at square roots.  The square root of 4 is 2 because 2 * 2 = 4.  The square root of 1 is 1 because 1 * 1 = 1.  The square root of 64 is 8 because 8 * 8 = 64.  Now then, (what) * (that same what) = -1 ????   Answer:  there is no such thing.  The what can't be -1 because -1 * -1  does not equal -1; it equals positive 1.  Therefore there is no such thing as the square root of negative one.

Well howdy! It's been a while hasn't it? Thanks for sticking around or being too lazy to unsubscribe. Here's a quick summary: High Strangeness is now Howdy Strangers! Daniel Kenan came on to talk about it, I've been wanting to have him on anyway so this was as good a time as ever. The show is back on a weekly schedule but the formatting is a little looser and what you get in your feed could really be practically anything. No rules just right, Outback Steakhouse baybeeee!
