Statement: Provide a rigorous proof of the Kepler Conjecture, which asserts that the most efficient way to pack spheres in three-dimensional space is in a pyramid-like arrangement similar to the way oranges are stacked. The proof should explore the mathematical techniques used in sphere packing, including discrete geometry, convex analysis, and the application of computational methods. Required Research: 1. "Kepler Conjecture and the Geometry of Packing" [https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/592239/kepler-conjecture-proof-and-related- problems] 2. "Mathematical Insight into 3D Sphere Packings" [https://www.springer.com/mathematics/geometry] 3. "The Role of Computational Methods in Proving the Kepler Conjecture" [https://www.pnas.org/content/110/28/11299]
