Sphere packing is a mathematical concept that involves arranging spheres in a way that maximizes the amount of space filled by the spheres without any overlapping. In a three-dimensional space, the goal is to determine how many identical spheres can be packed into a larger sphere (or, sometimes, just in space) in the most efficient manner.
