Abstract
We propose a physical interpretation for a p-adic picture of reality. According to this interpretation, p-adic numbers describe measurements with a finite accuracy (at the same time, real numbers describe measu rements with an infinite accuracy). We consider the representation of the position operator in a p-adic Hilbert space and study the spectrum of this operator.
