infinitely small means it is smaller than whatever you can come up with,
it is smaller than that.

Unless it is nothing, at least that is something.

If you had a ton of infinitely small particles, how could you weigh it ?

how would you know where they are ?  there are no tags on them.

   if you could not find it, would it matter ? or is that what is expected ?

SO, you are talking about a bunch of nothing.

best not to watch documentaries on science as most are produced by
non-scientists and know nothing about science or math.
