Abstract. The notion of random close packings of a
bulk static collection of ball bearings or sand grains was introduced
in the 1960's by G.D. Scott and J.D. Bernal. There have been numerous
attempts to understand the packings. We give a short argument,
following an earlier paper on liquids by Bernal, which explains the
packings in purely geometric terms.
