So what's the scientific consensus on the imaginary length?

It’s a mathematical abstraction used to make some minkowski space calculations easier.

conjugation

z = a + i b

|z|^2 = z z* = [a + i b][a - i b] = a^2 + b^2

unfortunately, OP, your image disproves the entirety of complex analysis and much of physics as we have come to know it.
top scientists and mathematicians have been essentially rewriting the scope of the field to account for this glaring error, but it's taking some time.

To understand length look at time

the consensus is that you just made it up and the fact that nothing like this is taught is soft evidence that thinking about it doesn't lead to much

Brainlet here, how could the hypotenuse possibly be smaller than either side?

It’s not in a Euclidean space so your intuitions don’t apply. The diagram in the image is just a 1:1:sqrt(2) triangle but refers to a more abstract “shape”.

Adding real and imaginary numbers together is probably peak brainlet though. Congrats

>imaginary length?
we dont even have negative length, why would we have imaginary length?

Why do you want to know the scientific consensus on something mathematical?
Also, I suggest you read rudins construction of the complex field, very eye clarifying.

Negative numbers are nonsense. You don't have "negative money", you have debt and you don't have "negative length", you just go back.

No dumbass, imaginary numbers are only used in intermediate steps. Not the final answer.

I think the zero length side makes it irrelevant since all you've done is invent a line segment.

science has no good say on mathematics
either way you're dumb and don't understand inner product spaces or what the complex plane actually represents, much less its formal construction.

no it doesn't. you can't extend pythagorean theorem onto a complex plane without first reconciling how to metrize in an analogous fashion. It's clear that as a vector space, (i, 0) or (i, 0) and any similar points are unit vectors

the red line should be a unit vector, same with the green line.
this gives the blue line to be sqrt(2) geometrically.
/sci/ are retards.
