Replying to the dead comment by saschag: Respectfully, your argument just boils down to whether the real numbers actually "exist." And I airquote exist because even that term is loaded.

what i was pointing at was that these theories are evolutions of hundreds of years old assumptions of 'predestination'. rooting in ideas of a big absolute clockwork, fortune telling, astrology. they're making promises that they can not prove without breaking the construct to begin with. it's a paradox, sci-fi, distraction from any type of wholesome outcome, claiming wholesome beginnings, claiming "more", breaking it to get there, because/thus lie. the concept is much older than that too. 6000 years or more. it's said that god has a name for every star. implying that there must be an appropriate singular unique identifier, coming from one truthful system, for every thing (that originated from his will). the idea, however, that a numerical system is any more appropriate than the alphabet or any other abstract symbolical representation to express law (logic), is ridiculous. it is obvious that people lie nonetheless, under the covers of 'science', making big promises and the only ones to benefit from them are the ones that sell such ideas, even though unproven. while i believe that there is 'one law', i believe too that it is broken by many and cause for schizms/conflicts and lies. no one truth will explain (justify) all lies. with the exception that they will be identified as a lie from broken origin but can not justify it's shape. from that perspective, no 'master constant' will predict your lottery numbers, stock markets, death nor life, because of the volatility of increasing utter bullshit. the only truthful prediction you can make, as time progresses more, is that mankind will undeniably conclude that the liars lie is the root of all evil and many liars made many victims.
