THE MAN WHO INVENTED MANHATTAN ( RAY LORIGA) AND CONTINENTAL DRIFT

 …with that invisible movement similar to continental drift that separates people who love each other.


Bravo for Ray Loriga! This is a brilliant example of how Science can help Literature on giving a great presence to your metaphors. You can tell, for things like this, that a good basic scientific education at school is worth it! They are also very interesting the metaphors in the opposite way, I mean, those you have to create to explain a physical phenomenon without using Maths or another Science. For instance, in Physics manuals, the waves are described as a transmission of energy without transmission of matter and someone thought it was like a rumour spreading troughout the country without nobody  moving.

So, metaphors are a kind of communicating vessels between scientists and litteratours and you can use them to give an elegant touch to a literary text and to get people without  great scientific knowledges to glimpse some complex physical phenomena
