Gotta ignore infinities too. The axioms they're based on are highly controversial.
And ~~irrational~~ imaginary numbers. I mean the numbers make sense, but itβs not like we can intuitively understand sqrt(-1).
Your example is a complex number. An irrational number would be Pi or sqrt(5)
You're thinking of imaginary numbers. Irrational numbers are real numbers that have an infinite number of decimal places and don't repeat.
