M&M's obsession leads to physics discovery

I think you guys are missing the point.

I think when they are talking "tight" they are talking about how firm it is, not how well they fit together.

Basically, they 'discovered' that elliptical objects would be able to support more than a perfectly round object.

No Axiom I think it is you who are missing the point.

It just showed that oblate spheroids packed more tightly than spheres, not by much, but a discernable degree.

I like m&m's.
