An example of an analogy from the history of science:
"Ibn Sina was the first Muslim scientist to revise the impetus theory of John Philoponus, an attempt to explain why a projectile continues to move after it is fired. He. described this impetus as a 'borrowed power' given to the projectile by the source of motion, 'just as heat is given to water by a fire'."
