Packing Moons Inside the Earth
Sunil K. Chebolu
TL;DR
This paper explores the theoretical limits of how many solid moons, modeled as perfect spheres, can be packed inside the Earth using sphere packing principles.
Contribution
It introduces a novel application of sphere packing theory to estimate the maximum number of moons that can fit inside the Earth.
Findings
Calculated the maximum number of moons that can be packed inside Earth.
Provided a mathematical framework based on sphere packing principles.
Highlighted the geometric constraints of celestial body packing.
Abstract
Using ideas of sphere packing problem we estimate the number of solid moons that can be packed inside the Earth, assuming that both the Moon and the Earth are perfect sphere.
