For instance, how is it possible to perform calculations using things like irrational numbers, which cannot actually be physically represented? Or even do multiplication with very large numbers like 1057, which we could not realistically count if depicted as physical objects?


We are discussing laws, not sums. And irrational numbers can be physically expressed. PI is one such irrational number. You need it to calculate the area and volume of a sphere. Many physical objects are spherical in shape.
