a: Electron ~
b: a moth in the cathedral
What: "Tom Stoppard, the playwright, had the best image. He said, if the nucleus is like the altar of St Paul's cathedral, an electron is like a moth in the cathedral, one moment by the altar, the next by the dome. Imagine squeezing all the space out of an atom. Well, if you did that to all the atoms in all the people in the world, you could indeed fit the entire human race in the volume of a sugar cube."

a: body system ~
b: a bellows
What:
"Rolfing has a profound affect on the athlete's breathing capacity. When the ribcage is freed, the ribs breathe in six directions: up, down, right, left, front and back. The entire body system is like a bellows. There is no longer shortness in chest and back which may have restricted the ability to take in breath. The ribs can now fully flex."
