All I can say is can we measure beyond subatomic particles or is that the smallest things are or that we can measure? For me what interested me what the concept of infinity and whether is it was small or large, yet observed from the human eye as being finite.
The documentary was interesting because it started measuring trees and how to measure a forest based on a tree's growth. This is beyond me, but something I'd like to learn more about.
That's fair enough. String theory suggests that all subatomic particles may possibly involve tiny strings that oscillate to give them their energy. Whether I believe it or not, it's hard to say. Can't say I'm quite that deep into science myself.
As for what you say about not being smart enough; I don't think anybody is. Infinity is practically implausible to consider, and the size of particles could simply keep getting smaller and smaller. What are they even going to call particles within subatomic particles?
Anyway, I think it's interesting what you say; to observe the potentially infinite through a finite perspective and scope. I do think it's crazy that it's very possible for us to do such a thing, if these laws of fractals could be applied in the way they claim they can be of course.
