No references found			In 1611, Johannes Kepler proposed that identical spheres can crowd together no more tightly than oranges do in a grocer's stack, a formation called face-centered cubic packing. M&Ms pack more tightly than spheres by Weiss, P. / Science News Two random packing approaches, pouring and raining, were compared to the face--centered cubic packing (FCC). The Effect of Random Packing By Pouring or Raining as Compared to ... by Hageman, Katie M. / Bulletin of the South Carolina Academy of Science In the 19th century, Carl Friedrich Gauss proved that face-centered cubic packing is the densest arrangement in which the centers of the spheres form a regular lattice.
