| Nov 15, 2019 at 13:28 | comment | added | Dast | @yakk. i^i has many values, one of them is a real number. | |

| Nov 13, 2019 at 20:22 | comment | added | eyeballfrog | Wait, how important is the algebraic independence of e and pi? I'm not actually aware of any major theorems that require it. | |
| Nov 13, 2019 at 19:25 | comment | added | josh314 | So that would be deeply surprising, but how would it shake the foundations of mathematics or "do a lot of damage"? | |

Sure, but at the same time, i^i is a real number, so stranger things have happened (value is approx 0.04). ;)
