real^real^real^... = imaginary?

TL;DR

Real numbers can be raised to non-real powers leading to complex results, showcasing the complexity of numbers.

Transcript

okay that's the sama for fun here I have two questions for you guys first is it possible to have a real number raised to a real number for the power and then in the end the result is non real and the reason I put down non-real right here it's top complex it's because any real number it's technically also a complex number because for example that's ...
