Abstract: In 1611, Kepler posed the challenge of finding the densest configuration of equal-sized, non-overlapping balls in space. I'll discuss a variant of this problem: how to find the configuration of points that minimizes potential energy, and how Amarel was used to help solve it in some high dimensional situations.
