alt Hacker NewsThe schroedinger equation could be rewritten as two coupled equations without the need for complex numbers. Complex numbers just simplify things and "beautify it", but there is nothing "fundamental" about it, its just representation.

But if you rewrite it as "two coupled equations", you are still using complex numbers, just in another guise.
Complex numbers are just two dimensional numbers, lol
