If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
And it kinda makes sense to keep calculating with numbers that don't make sense
That doesn't make any sense! It's a contradiction! And to quote the Wizards Nineth Rule from Chainfire, book nine of the Sword of Truth series: Contradictions cannot exist in reality.
To add to that: contradicitons exist only in what people say or think. For what you say to be real it needs to be non-contradictory. In other words, you are either wrong or have a good point but used bad wording. In light of the part of your statement that followed, i'll assume it was a good point with bad wording. One that should of been worded in a non-contradictory way.
However, what use do we have for trying to figure out the square root of -2?
I would also like to point out the fact that things like the square root of -2 are quite accuretly refered to in maths as a "imaginary number", not just a "complex number".
