It also works that the exact position of an object could also be complex so an imaginary and real location.

TBF imaginary time is a math trick and not something that actually progresses. It lets us apply results from statistical physics to quantum field theory through a Wick rotation.

A huge portion of Americans aren't sure the earth is round and 'idiocracy' is fictional.

I'm okay with the more esoteric things being reserved for those who can comprehend them.

All potential realities of time are happening at once, you are just perceiving one slice of it.

If it makes you feel any better - ALL "time" is imaginary. Time is a human construct that has no meaning outside of human endeavor.

My quick guess would be that this a theory that explain some weird phenomenon we don't have a good explanation for yet. Like how we observe that stars and galaxies don't orbit as they should and then say that there is "dark mass" which is responsible.

I couldn't conceive of such a thing!

I keep running out of regular time already, now you tell me I need to keep track of perpendicular time?

I tried to get multiple physicists to help me mine this imaginary time, but they all said that it was "impossible" and that it's "not how time works" or something.

I guess people just really don't want to jump on this money-making bandwagon.

Plot twist: all time is imaginary time.
