Talk:Sphere packing in a sphere

Contradiction

edit

The article uses contradictory descriptions about the problem. The table lists a maximum radius of inner spheres, while the rest of the article claims that it involves packing unit spheres into the smallest possible sphere. This contradicts the definition of the unit sphere. The source explicitly lists maximum inner radii. 108.218.0.176 (talk) 23:39, 23 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

I eliminated the contradiction. Thank you for pointing this out. -- Toshio Yamaguchi 20:07, 7 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Total surface area

edit

I would be interesting to add the total surface area of the spheres compared to the unit sphere. --PJ Geest (talk) 17:03, 6 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
