The particular metal is characterized by a valence electron count z, melting temperature T m and melting density ρ m (and number density n m ) defining the hard sphere radius through (eta _{m} =4/3pi {a^{3}_{m}}n_{m}).
This distance defines the "Hubble sphere", an imaginary sphere centered at us, outside which everything recedes faster than the speed of light.
