An enormous amount of scientific language is metaphorical. We talk about a genetic code, where code originally meant a cipher; we talk about the solar system model of the atom as though the atom were like a sun and moon and planets.

Eine enorme Menge an wissenschaftlicher Sprache ist metaphorisch. Wir sprechen über einen genetischen Code, bei dem Code ursprünglich eine Chiffre bedeutete. Wir sprechen über das Sonnensystemmodell des Atoms, als ob das Atom wie Sonne und Mond und Planeten wäre.
