There are no irrational numbers measurable in the universe. Irrational numbers as far as we encounter are computable via straightforward algorithms.

- beardyw 1y ago> There are no irrational numbers measurable in the universe. Because of course measurement reduces them to rational. That doesn't make them go away.
- anon291 1y agoUnproveable superstitious rubbish. Irrational numbers exist as ideas, but there is no physical evidence that they are found in nature. We have processes that in their ideal limit will converge to numbers known to be irrational, and the law of large numbers certainly makes them appear to be such, but there is no physical quantity that is measured irrational. In fact we know that at some point we cannot measure much anymore so even the illusion of infinity is null.
