    🤨 Is this an elaborate joke, or is this query itself demonstrative of the reality of the statement?

      Yes.

      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.
