An example of metaphor in scientific writing
"…Josef Loschmidt…disliked the way the second law of thermodynamics predicted that the universe would eventually die, degenerating into a never-change state in which all heat had dissipated throughout the cosmos. If this were true, wrote Loschmidt, the second law is a 'terroristic nimbus cloud, which appears to be a destructive principle to all life in the universe'."
