ABSTRACT
This chapter examines examples from the realm of contemporary science in action, it becomes difficult to continue to conceive of style as "ornamental" or reduced to surface features and separate from the thoughts being articulated. While philosophers of science including Mary B. Hesse and W. H. Leatherdale reject the idea that analogy might play a persuasive role in the development of scientific knowledge, rhetoricians of science hold different views. Having devised an analogy that illustrated the simplest aspects of the concept, Neil Albert then introduced a few refinements. He imagined the dimples as being quite deep wells which could exert an influence on the electrons which might be located fairly close to the dimple, but unable to move from the energy state where they were trapped. In fact, the analogy of the marbles and the rubber sheets helped Albert to more clearly visualize a possible explanation for their measurements.
