Let’s have a look.

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.

A real number is the set of both rational and irrational numbers. Nothing about continuous anything.

Quantum mechanics still have endless ratios which aren’t discrete. Especially ratios between stuff like wavelengths and more
