How many angels can dance at the head of a pin?
Some say none, others say one, a few [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=2576 say 3 * 10^64]], and the last group usually goes with [[DorothyLSayers "infinitely many"]]. A friend of mine asked me this very question a while ago, so I'll do my best to answer.
* Some say 3 * 10^64, assuming angels take up minimal space alongside a standard dimension for a 'pin-head'.
* Angels are pure form, lack material, and are thus not subject to the exclusionary principle of "No two or more objects can be at the same place at the same time. From this we can argue that an infinite number of angels could dance on a pin-head.
* However, as pure form, angels are pure intelligences and pinheads... aren't. And there can be no association between intelligence and the lack thereof, so the answer may be none.
* But this isn't quite right either, according to the systemic presuppositions in which this question was asked, we can assume that the pin-head would have a guardian angel, who would not abandon said pin-head no matter his lack of intelligence. So the answer is one.

* Some say 3 * 10^64, assuming angels take up a minimal (planck) space, and assuming some rather odd standard dimensions for a 'pin-head'.
* However, angels are pure form, lack material, and are thus not subject to the exclusionary principle of "No two or more (material) objects can be at the same place at the same time." From this we can argue that an infinite number of angels could dance on a pin-head.
* On the other hand, as pure form, angels are pure intelligences and pin-heads... aren't. And there can be no association between intelligence and the lack thereof, the answer may be none.
* But this isn't quite right either, according to the systemic presuppositions in which this question was asked, we can assume that the pin-head would have a guardian angel, who would not abandon said pin-head no matter his lack of intelligence. So the answer is at the very least one.
