Re:Quantum Physics Falls Apart Without Imaginary Numbers

Well, for one thing, for such quantity to make physical sense, both the real part and the imaginary part should be of the same dimension, e.g. "length." Also, the result of a measurement is supposed to come from (be an eigenvalue of) an observable - an operator, and, on the one hand, I think I'd have a hard time conjuring one up; on the other hand, the eigenvalues are "supposed to be" real anyway! So, no, that doesn't work.
