An example of simile in a scientist's writing,
"A process which in no manner can be completely reversed I called a 'natural' one. The term for it in universal use today is: Irreversible'."
…in the case of an irreversible process the terminal state is in a certain sense more important than the initial state – as if, so to speak, Nature 'preferred' it to the latter. I saw a measure of this 'preference' in Clausius's entropy…"
