Yagokoro-no-Omoikane shows her true form at last.

Yeah about what little I can understand of moonspeak they're in/experiencing "imaginary time" (I never covered this subject in any of physics classes because I never got past year 3 or so physics). So, really it's just treating time as a dimension like how we treat space or how complex numbers are conceptualized vs real numbers.FTL travel gets really really wonky. /endmusingsfromanex-physicsmajor

I know it's a little late, but if someone could explain imaginary time, that would be nice. (In layman-esque terms. I looked at Wikipedia on the subject, and there's a critical density of physics terms I don't know beyond which it's too much to decypher.) I thought that at FTL, you experience negative time, (that is, going backwards through time, also known as 'time travel',) not imaginary time.

I know it's a lot late, but the way I understand it, regular time is a one-dimensional affair from past to future, while imaginary time has two (or more!) dimensions, so you can be progressing to the "up" future instead of or in addition to the "right" future, and either you can change how quickly you are traveling to the "up" future versus the "right" future, or everyone would be traveling to the future at different proportions of "up" future to "right" future (otherwise it would be no different from one-dimensional time). I have no clue how that shakes out as an experience, though, much like how it's hard to imagine spacial movement in four or more dimensions.
