Some people give me negative energy. I try to avoid them. Then it becomes insignificant.
Negative frequency may appear as an anomaly or an artifact, but it is not.
Mathematics show that it exist and it does appear in real life.
Think of positive and negative as displacements from a center point.
If I take a 100kHz signal and modulate it with a 5kHz signal, I would end up with two frequencies, 95kHz and 105kHz.
If our center frequency happen to be 3kHz modulated with 5kHz, we would have two frequencies, -2kHz and 8kHz.

It is a product of the "Infinite Improbability Drive."
These are imaginary components (Negative frequency) just like the imaginary power component in complex impedance power. The actual frequencies generated would be real and >0.
