i think this is fascinating and would like to be able to understand why this is so....can any of you give me a geometric or any other reason why i^i should be a real number?
i knew this also, but haven't seen the proof as to why.
it is logical, though, since i is such an unusual quantity.
hope soemone else can help us here.

Is it because raising a number to an imaginary power rotates it in the complex plane? Raising i to an imaginary power looks like it rotates i exactly onto the real plane.
