Analogies between Antibodies and Simpler Chemical Substances
J L E T ME express my deep appreciation of the honor of presenting the first Harrison Howe Memorial Lecture, and my thanks to you for selecting me. I am sure that Harrison Howe, with his broad interests, covering the whole of chemistry and tech nology, would not consider out of place the subject which I have chosen: "Analogies between Antibodies and Simpler Chemical Substances". I became inter...
متن کاملChemical “ Substances ” That Are Not “ Chemical Substances ”
The main scientific problems of chemical bonding were solved half a century ago, but adequate philosophical understanding of chemical combination is yet to be achieved. Chemists routinely use important terms (“element,” “atom,” “molecule,” “substance”) with more than one meaning. This can lead to misunderstandings. Eliminativists claim that what seems to be a baseball breaking a window is merel...
متن کاملAnalogies between electricity and gravity
This is a brief history of physical analogies that begins at the time of Coulomb. Then it was universally believed that gravity, electricity and magnetism all obeyed Newton’s inverse square law. The current era—dominated by quantum mechanics, general relativity, strings and inflationary cosmology—is clearly more complex. A new analogy may be helpful. Evidence is given that, in the non-relativis...
متن کاملAnalogies between boron and carbon.
The structural connections between the compounds of boron and carbon are extended using the mno rule beyond the borane-carbocation continuum, the lithium boride-polycarbyne analogy, and the magnesium boride (MgB(2))-graphite equivalence to beta-rhombohedral boron and fullerenes. The structural similarity of the pentagonal pyramidal C(6)H(6)(2+) and MgB(4) is established. An interesting electron...
متن کاملChemical Analogies: Two Kinds of Explanation
Analogies are often used to help provide explanations of unfamiliar phenomena by comparing them to familiar phenomena. Analogical explanations are of two kinds: ones that provide systematic clarification, and ones that give a causal account of why something happened. We describe a theory and implementation of analogical mapping that applies to both kinds of explanation. The theory says that the...
