I think my question was not clear. The very intention of the question is to tell **any **complex topic you’ve encountered that you’ve found a surprisingly understandable analogy of. there is no constraint of any subject.

There were dinosaurs. They died. They became oil. We use that oil to move. It’s an analogy to anything you want if you are very high.
