An historical example of analogy to expalin a scientific idea:
"A solid body may be regarded as a fabric, more or less regularly and artificially constructed, in which the materials and the workmanship may be separately considered, and in which, though the latter be ruined and confounded by violence, the former remain unchanged in their nature, though differently arranged."
Sir John F. W. Herschel
