Dodecahedral Conjecture

In any unit Sphere Packing, the volume of any Voronoi Cell around any sphere is at least as large as a regular Dodecahedron of Inradius 1. If true, this would provide a bound on the densest possible sphere packing greater than any currently known. It would not, however, be sufficient to establish the Kepler Conjecture.
