electric charge

It Pushes And Pulls......
a: Electric charge ~
b: like gravity for small molecules
What: "An electric charge is like gravity for small molecules - it is trying to attract other molecules. This is why we have so many different types of elements and metals in the world. Because each atom is attracting different atoms, creating a huge range of things. So why does it do this - i am not sure why , no one does, but by doing so we are able to have gold and silver, but more important carbon dioxide and oxygen, things that are important for living"

Bricks In The Wall
a: Electric charge ~
b: brick wall
What: "Millikan's experiment showed that electrical charge is quantized, meaning that charge exists only in little "pieces" of definite size. The size of any electric charge is an integer multiple of this smallest possible "elementary charge." Consider the following analogy; an electric charge is like a brick wall - the smallest possible size for a wall is one brick, a single brick is like the elementary charge. Just as a wall can not exist that is smaller than one brick, an electric charge can not exist that is smaller than the "elementary charge." Any large brick wall is made up of an integer number of bricks, just as any large electric charge is made up of an integer number of elementary charges."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
