stevendaryl said:What do you mean by "legitimate"? As I said, there is no mathematical claim being made. It's a physical claim that a particular physically measurable quantity is equal to a particular mathematical expression.
There is a mathematical claim being made.
When you take beta as real that in effect means you are taking t as pure imaginary.
You can only do that if the function has been extended to the complex plane ie t is complex.
