Many Cars Lilnked Together
a: Macromolecule ~
b: train
What: "Macromolecules are like trains, molecules linked to molecules, in chains or in more complex structures. Sometimes all the wagons in a train are the same. We get additional polymers this way: a whole series of identical molecules hooked together like beads in a rosary thread. Polystyrene-the stuff of which disposable cups and packing cushions are made-consists of such identical molecules."

Fluid Waves... Fluid Chemistry.....
a: Macromolecule ~
b: water waves
What: "Thus, in some respects, these biological macromolecules are like water waves created when air blows over a water surface. If the energy flux from blown air stops, the waves quickly fade; if the energy flux from anabolism stops, the macromolecules will also begin to disappear"

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.
