If Angels were made into matter, then they would no longer could or would be infinitely small. So then, how can you know just about how many Angels you could fit onto the tip of an average pin?
This is yet another question that has thwarted many philosophers dealing with the topic of the material world and the subject of infinity in relation to it, as well as spirits and beings in sub-dimensions and their effect and existence on our world.
Please answer as well as you can, because I havn't been able to find any good answers anywhere, even by some of our greater thinkers. Thanks in advance for all answers.

Take the smallest matter in the universe (an atom) and see how many would fit on there.
But I guess if they could be infinitely small, then, well, an infinite number.

Angels are not matter, so a better question would be how many miniscule pieces of matter can you fit on the head of a pin? But then again no one ever specifies the size of the angels. I say eight if they're skinny, and four if they're fat.

I think there was a guy who came up with 512 or something. However, an infinity of them could if they were infinitely small, and if they were not, I think about 1/100 of one or so, as I believe they're about the size of regular people.

As many as you want to fit.
If size doesn't matter, there would be a whole universe on the head of the pin

All of them. The size of the pinhead is an illusion. Everything exists at once in same place.

That question has long been a model for complete and total waste of time and effort.

None. There are no angels.
