A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Let's have a look.

The conclusion is wrong, i agree. That's the joke of the meme.
(Keep down voting if it matters to you. I'm only trying to explain a joke. The top post is in agreement with my statement.)
Quantum mechanics still have endless ratios which aren't discrete. Especially ratios between stuff like wavelengths, particle states, and more
I'm fully aware of the definitions. I didn't say the definition of irrationals was wrong. I said the definition of the reals is wrong. The statement about quantum mechanics is so vague as to be meaningless.
Come on then, enlighten the average Joe.
Google it? Axiomatic definition, dedekind cuts, cauchy sequences are the 3 typical ones and are provably equivalent.
A real number is the set of both rational and irrational numbers. Nothing about continuous anything.
It is exactly that though.
Irrationel and rational numbers are both real.
Quantum physics is limited to the quantum, hence the name.
Being continuous is not actually a requirement of being real.
