But seriously yeah, imaginary numbers (square root of -1) just so happens to be a key part of the definition of a sinusoidal waveform, which is what all electromagnetic radiation flows by. Especially power delivered by alternating current, but also digital stuff and general quantum particles and things. So it really affects everything.
Yeah but imaginary numbers are a very real problem, and the solution of which affects you every day.
🤨 Is this an elaborate joke, or is this query itself demonstrative of the reality of the statement?
Yes.

Does it affect my estimated pizza delivery time?
The latter, I believe.
