Irrational numbers and Physical constants

According to what I have read here: http://forum.objecti…showtopic=12514

… the extension of space and | or time cannot be infinite (and are also discrete) since infinity cannot be applied to physically existing things. If that is so can it be possible that the physical constants we use and are regarded to be irrational numbers can be interpreted in ways in which they would not need an infinitely long number to represent them? If we get the right point of reference shouldn’t these constants be integers, or at least finitely long?

“Something needs an infinitely long number to represent it” = “something can’t be represented with a number”. 

 

That’s all. That doesn’t say anything about what that thing is. 

 

If we get the right point of reference shouldn’t these constants be integers, or at least finitely long?

Yes, with the right point of reference, they could be integers or finitely long. If the point of reference were Pi-5 , then Pi would be 5, and the current integers would all be irrational numbers.
