And they laughed at medieval monks debating how many angels could fit on the head of a pin.

IT’S FUNDING TIME AT THE UNIVERSITIES: Oh yeh, I must have overlooked how those tiny polution particles form a wormhole that leads to cooling. I think this merits further funds to make a thorough study. This is how the frauds infested in the socialist democrat left make their living. AGW is dying. Watch for the next massive diaster conjured up that needs to be studied. WATER POLLUTION

Actually the only folks who laughed at the debate over angels dancing on the head of a pin were and are folks who don’t know what the sides were: it was finitely many vs. infinitely many, not, say 5 vs. 10,000, and was a debate about where space is infinitely divisible or not, which is still a matter of interest in fundamental physics. (The answer seems to be that it is not, though whether there are smallest bits or not is open, with the weight of opinion favoring the very strange position that there are neither smallest parts nor is it infinitely divisible — look up the notion of Planck length to see how that is thought to work and why most physicists who work on such matters think so).
