  Because what you're describing is coordinate or unit system dependent. I could invent a unit system where the mass of an electron is pi units, and another unit system where the mass of the electron is 1 unit. Me using a different unit system doesn't affect the physics of the system.

    But the particles can move around, they won't always be exactly on values of pi, 1, etc... in any coordinate system. And pi and 1 happen to be examples that can be described with a finite amount of symbols. But a continuous particle has to move through any value in between.

      Your idea interests me. I think it's related to the Plank Scale, but what you're talking about would possibly be a "Plank Precision"? I'm having a hard time seeing if this is fundamentally the same thing as the Plank Length, or if it's something different entirely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units#Planck_length https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units#Planck_length Very cool idea though.

      The point is that you're discussing precision as it relates to a coordinate system trying to model position. That really and truly has no bearing on reality except insofar as the coordinate system has attempted to map reality.
