Actually multiplying complex number (x + iy) by its complex conjugate (x - iy) does not "remove" imaginary part, but calculate square of absolute value of complex number, (x^2 + y^2). BTW. in quantum physics the wavefunction is complex valued, and its absolute value is probability density (a real valued function). --JakubNarebski (talk) 00:57, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

I got hit in the face with my complex conjugate and lost an eye. 108.162.238.114 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

I procreated with my complex conjugate and lost myself. 108.162.216.114 19:44, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

(a+bi)*(a-bi)= a^2-b^2 not a^2+b^2 108.162.218.142 15:48, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

(a+b)*(a-b) = a^2 - b^2 . However (a+bi)*(a-bi) = a^2 + b^2 since i^2 = -1. 108.162.219.65 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

I think that the moving to a title text is a joke about them kicking you out of the room 173.245.50.65 20:54, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
