Re: More complex numbers than reals?

Are there "more" complex numbers than reals? It seems so, every real has its y, or imaginary, component set to zero. Therefore for each real there is an infinity of infinite embedding's for it wrt any real with a non-zero y axis? Fair enough, or really dumb? A little stupid? What do you think?

How can you compare them if they are not even in the same dimension?
It seems that instead of comparing the real number line to the complex plane (or the Cartesian plane for that matter), you might as well compare a unit of length to a square unit of area.
Numerically they might be the same, but they are not identical, because
a line has no area, so a unit of length 1 has an area of 0 units squared.
