Why the unreasonable applicability of complex numbers in physics/engineering?
But are complex numbers really essential in physics? The usual argument is based on the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle in the form $[\hat x,\hat p]=i\hbar$. … With these developments there arose a basic tenet of today's physics: all fundamental forces are phase fields (Yang, 1983). …
