Why e to the ix gives a sinusoidal wave? This is because neutrinos keep oscillating. They wouldn't without the e^ix support...

Technically ''i'' isn't "imaginary" at all, but is incorporated into equations to represent rotations perpendicular to the x-y plane.

: ''i'' is ''imaginary.'' Both "real" and "imaginary" are terms of art in a mathematical context that have nothing to do with the reality or unreality of the numbers in question. Also, when you're talking about the complex plane, it doesn't have ''x'' and ''y'' axes: it has ''real'' and ''imaginary'' axes. But of course, nobody can stop you from defining a mapping from the complex plane to any other vector space if that suits your purpose.
