In Bruno's TOE, real numbers don't exist in the same way as integers,
much in the spirit of Kronecker's famous quote:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_Kronecker
Quantum theory would appear to support Kronecker.
Quantum mechanics assumes real and complex numbers.

Relativity is more concerned with real numbers, not to mention continua - but I have a
feeling that most physicists would bet on QM as being closer to reality than GR, if pushed.
