That is certainly true. In fact you don't even need rational numbers, it is entirely possible that there are a finite number of positions on the universe, for example.
Nevertheless physics seems to work very nicely when expressed in the language of calculus. Everything from Schrödinger's equation to the Einstein field equations, and from classical mechanics to the standard model of particle physics are expressed in the language of calculus. This all looks like a wild and strange coincidence if fundamentally we are living in a relm like the rationals, where calculus doesn't really make sense.
