“Whereas/the layer-around-layer, symmetrical, closest packing of unit radius spheres around a nuclear sphere of the same radius, the number of spheres in each layer will always be 10 times the second power of the frequency of comprehensively concentric layer enclosings, plus the number two; i.e., 10 F^2 + 2; by which we discover that, in the case of the first layer, i.e., frequency = 1, we have 1^2 = 1, and 10 * 1 = 10, which, plus two = 12; and we find experimentally that 12 unit radius spheres comprehensively omni-inter-close-pack around the single nuclear sphere. Where frequency is two in the case of the second layer, we have 2^2 = 4, 4 * 10 = 40, 40 +2 = 42 spheres which circle empirically; thus the number of unit radius spheres in the third layer is 92, and so forth.”
