As far as i can understand all our measurements would be the same if all equations using real numbers were replaced by equations with finite precision (containing several hundred digits). The only experiment that could be different is quantum computer, because quantum fourier transform on n qubits requires at least n binary digits of precision on probabilities too. This is why some people think quantum computers won't work.
