1. As most people already know, similes and metaphors are two common devices in poetic writing. The important feature of the two devices is their placing together of two things that are apparently irrelevant to make a comparison. A good metaphor or simile is able not only to achieve surprising effects, but also to lead readers to a deeper understanding of what may be unclear and abstract in a poem.
For scientists, the use of metaphors and similes is also not uncommon. In 1933, George Lemaitre, the Belgian priest and physicist, proposed the famous Big Bang Theory to explain the origin of the universe. Lemaitre conceived of a primal atom that existed before anything else, and then expanded and in the long run produced everything. To make the Big Bang Theory more concrete and accessible to the public, Lemaitre created a wonderful metaphor—the evolution of the cosmos as it is today “can be compared to a display of fireworks that has just ended.” This firework comparison helps everyone imagine a vivid picture of the world in which we live at the moment of the grand “bang.” Alan Lightman, another physicist with the background of a poet, has made a similar remark. He said that we can’t help but envision scientific discoveries in terms of things we already know from daily life—spinning balls, waves in water, and pendulums that swing back and forth. In science as well as in poetry, it would seem, figures of speech are necessary instruments of understanding.
