“What the hell’s the point of imaginary numbers?” is a question I’m sure we’ve all asked ourselves at some point. Apart from being the number one source of half-formed parabolas, the answer’s got something to do with electricity, I guess. Those are numbers electrical engineers need. But what’s the deal with electricity, anyway? Learn the answer at the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery this weekend, where they’ll be putting on an event covering the topic from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

If you’re reading this for information about eating other people’s leftover fish, you’re about to be disappointed.
