This article is epistemological garbage. There's nothing more "strange" about "complex numbers" than any other mathematical construction. It's no surprise that they help "describe reality" because they're a relatively basic and fundamental concept of mathematics that was constructed in large part to describe physical observations. I can describe the rotation of my dinner plate using complex multiplication, but that doesn't make it magic or mysterious.
