AllSpace Filling: Space Filling with Tetrahedra:
"If I make five separate tetrahedra of four spheres each-- one in each corner-- with spheres closest-packed this way you can fill all space with tetrahedra. The fifth four-sphere tetrahedron just has to be inverted and placed between the first four four-sphere tetrahedra. The atoms are not linear and they are not planar. All you would have to have is tetrahedral assemblies to fill all space."
