People often comment that Math is divorced from reality, but they can't explain how. Its the continuum
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum_(measurement)
Reality isn't a VR sim with pixels(or 'quanta' in physics terms).
Math is modeled on theory which excludes infinitesimals, introducing the idea of 'minimal object' above zero(the Quanta of Math is the first real number above) of which all numbers have a finite quantity thereof(since its the smallest element to which numbers can be decomposed into, because infinitesimals can't exist in Modern Math) like pixels; this is of course the reductio ad absurdum of archimedean property.
This "Virtual Reality Math" only works until its foundations are investigated logically..but people follow what is convinient
