Why they push each other? And why they pull each other?

Playing with bar magnets fascinated a little kid; the young myself.

If you put two N poles close each other, they push one another even though they don't physically contact. There is 'invisible something' in that 'space', which those two N poles pushing one another without visible contact. Science technology as of 2019 still does not apprehend what that 'invisible something' actually is, at all.

People are slightly progressing in understanding of this 'space' contains the most complex space-time. They have been trying to explain the movements of particles in an atom with the Standard Model and Quantum Field Theory,  however, it is still far from comprehension.

The imaginary number 'i' is fascinating number as it unvails this 'space', invisible and incomprehensible, yet does exist in front of our eyes; shows the character of this 'space', and; magically translates that invisible and intangible, misunderstood as unmeaningful void into familiar language, which we can feel and see in our surroundings.

The five hundred years old imaginary number, which was found in the 16th century, has been developed into the Standard Model, the most complex formula in human history that describes the movement of quarks, electrons, intermediates and interaction among electromagnetic force, strong force, and weak force within an atom. (except gravity).

Let's revisit the Standard Model formula.

The imaginary number 'i' in the formula drove me crazy, in a different sense from the Euler formula.

Even this complex formula, the Standard Model, could not fully describe the movement of the most simple atom, nor could imagine what is 'the void', which composes most of the quantity of an atom.

Imagine that the hydrogen atom is magnified into the size of the Earth. The atomic nucleus is about the size of a 60-meter-high 20-story building. Electron is smaller than an apple-its actual size or mass is still unknown-. The rest of the Earth, besides the atomic nucleus and electron, is the void.

The purpose of mathematics and physics is simple; comprehend the life accurately.

I want a full understanding of the world and life, and explain exactly why something happened; what is happening; and what will happen in the future.

Everything in the world can be described in equations and equations in all dimensions are solvable within the range of the imaginary number 'i'. This means the imaginary number 'i' takes us to the most fundamental problem of the cosmos, nature, the human, and the life.

That is the imaginary number 'i'.
