Around and around u b spinnin' me, mr. illuminati man........like a merry go round..................if u are multiplying by i.............u are spinning in a counter clock wise direction.....................what clock runs backwards..............??   A barber's shop clock......

This is pretty cool. We have some sort of answer, but what does it mean?

• i is a “new imaginary dimension” to measure a number
• i (or -i) is what numbers “become” when rotated
• Multiplying i is a rotation by 90 degrees counter-clockwise
• Multiplying by -i is a rotation of 90 degrees clockwise
• Two rotations in either direction is -1: it brings us back into the “regular” dimensions of positive and negative numbers.
