Smale's Problem #7 asks for an arrangement of n-points on a S2 sphere, such that the pairwise sum of all the reciprocals of
the logarithm of the distance of any 2 points is minimized. This is equivalent to the J. J. Thomson Problem in physics, or
minimizing the potential energy for all points. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smale%27s_problems
Smale asks for the global minimal solution, not just a local minimum solution which can be in�nite in number.
In the spherical code datasets given, not only was the log force law answers found, but also the Coulomb attraction (1/r) and
the inverse square law (1/r^2) force laws solutions for the points N=1..65 also found as either 40 digit or 80 digit �oats.
40 digits of accuracy are given for the 3d con�guration of the points for n-points under the 1/r (Coulomb) and 1/r^2 (inverse-
square) force law while 80 digits of accuracy are given for the points under the 1/log law (JJ Thomson problem)
NOTE:
The spherical code is the �oating point approximation of the answer which has been determined to be the root of an
algebraic number (root of a monomial polynomial equation) 49 algebraic numbers have been successfully recovered but 109
remain to be found, however the spherical codes in the database ARE the optimal global solution (and proved
mathematically numerically)

The 1/r (Coulomb) values are initially taken from Neil J.A. Sloane's "Spherical codes for minimal energy" database, and
improved from 12 digits accuracy to 38 digits accuracy, thus extending the precision of his points. Special care has been
