However you want to slice it, that imposes the structure of the rational numbers on what we perceive. That's Aleph null or the countably infinite. Yet we know clearly that the universe has a cardinality of at least Aleph one -- that would be the real numbers, including transcendentals like e and Pi.
Et voila.
Yup.
You could say that's a teensy mathematical error they haven't caught yet.
It gets worse, though, as our warrantable reasoning ability with even the countably infinite is limited.
Touchy subject. It's something that we are probably not ready to deal with.

So there being more real numbers than the cardinality of the natural numbers is a problem we have not solved yet.
And you think you might find someting in one of these tiny little holes ?
I think it is a problem with how we percieve things.
Not with the actual number of things that exist.
But I dont understand math that well.
And I have not had enough coffee yet.
