"Quārum hī vitiō moriānis?"

"Moriānis‽ Moriānis vestris incipivit rem tōtam!"

There's a convincing argument all numbers are imaginary. I've never seen a million of something in one place. Let alone a billion, or a trillion. Root 2? Get outta here. e, pi. Basically any useful number already has the property that i has (suspending disbelief until we can get rid of it again somewhere later down the line)

You see pi every time you see a pie.

Pi can be seen in real life (obviously not with full precision, but close enough). Simply make a 1 cm rod on a lathe and measure its circumference, and you'll see it's ~3.141 cm

The same goes for root 2. Simply measure the diagonal of a 1 cm square

Not sure where you'd see e in real life, though (excluding as the base of an exponential, because any exponential can be trivially rewritten with any base)
