First, all math that physicists exploit presupposes number theory. But it also seems that standard set theory is not enough to model nature and the "Cantor's Paradise" has to be abandoned as the premisse of mathematical physics.
One of the problems that you seem to refer to is reals with infinite measurement resolution and physical universe of finite measurement resolution. P-adics and adeles show much promise for fixing this problem and describing the fractal and non-continuous nature of quantum world.
