The role of virtual reality in the theory:


There follows four examples which illustrate that the imaginary numbers are in fact real.


Example 1.


If you label a corridor plus (+) and minus (-) and then walk into a room, you are walking perpendicular to plus (+) and minus (-). However, the room is as real as the corridor which proves that the perpendicular to plus (+) and minus (-) is real not imaginary.


Example 2.


If you are at the check-out in a supermarket and you are putting your groceries into a bag and then taking them out that is plus (+) and minus (-). If you now move the groceries across the top of the bag, that is perpendicular to plus (+) and minus (-) but the groceries are real not imaginary which proves that the perpendicular to plus (+) and minus (-) is real not imaginary.


Example 3.


If you are an explorer and have a compass you probably think of North as plus (+) and South as minus (-). However, East and West is just as real as North and South which proves that the perpendicular to plus (+) and minus (-) is real and not imaginary.


Example 4.


On a blackboard it is convention to label the horizontal plus (+) and minus (-). However, the vertical is just as real as the horizontal which proves that the perpendicular to plus (+) and minus (-) is real and not imaginary.


The four examples given prove that the so called imaginary numbers are not imaginary at all, but real.


In a nutshell, the perpendicular is not imaginary, but real.


That concludes the role of virtual reality in the theory.
