An example of an analogy to explain science:
"It is maintained that perhaps the success of the Heisenberg method points to a purely algebraical method of description of nature, that is, to the elimination of continuous functions from physics. The, however, we must also give up, on principle, the space-time continuum. It is conceivable that human ingenuity will some day find methods which will make it possible to proceed along such a path. At the present time, however, such a programme looks like an attempt to breathe in empty space."
