Metaphors have been used in science as far back as Darwin. Pick a famous female scientist that used metaphors in her work and answer the following:

Introduce your female scientist. In what scientific discovery did this female scientist use metaphors?

Research and analyze at least three metaphors used in her work and explain what the metaphors meant. Do you think Metaphors play an important part in science and mathematics? Explain.

Expert Solution

Metaphors are widely used in science and technology. They allow new research results by comparing them with old or existing knowledge, which may or may not be scientific. The old knowledge might be something that is held by everyone.Mathematical metaphor theory is an attempt to understand how we think. It is part of a general theory of the mind.
At its origin is the claim that our mind is embodied, and that what we think comes from our brain, which is shaped
by our experiences in the world. In this theory, what we think can be inferred from the firing of neurons, and we
understand it because this firing is similar to the firing corresponding to a perception. Thus, we do not understand
abstract concepts, such as freedom or love, directly, but only through a metaphorical understanding. The theory
also claims that our understanding rests on two things:
❼ a structured multi-modal knowledge of some basic concepts in Cross-modal OrGanizational structures (or
COGs), which have a kind of universality
❼ some frames about situations or events which depend on culture and experience.

I have been one acquainted with the night. I have walked out in rain—and back in rain. I have outwalked the furthest city light. I have looked down the saddest city lane. I have passed by the watchman on his beat And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain. I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street, But not to call me back or say good-bye; And...
