I just read an article by Intel comparing conventional computing with quantum computing. 300 coins/qubits tossed in the air represents more resting combinations than there are atoms in the Universe! Useful quantum computers will need to have on the order of 1000 qubits. I think the next metaphor would be large scale thermal runaway in terms of control.

What about slang, or evolving dialects?

Yes, unlike a coin, a qubit is not just heads or tails, but has superpositions between these two states - hence the enormous number of possible combinations!
We don't know all the alphabet, at least when it comes to science but a long shot. Otherwise there would be a in the ball park explanation.
How about something organic related: Hair is made of keratin and so are fingernails. When you eat a peach how do all compounds get to the trillions of nucleotides and reach their appointed destination. They just randomly float around until they find some protein to attach to?
Well some nucleotides don't and it called mutation.
If they have different letters and/or follow different grammar rules, its wrong.
Iow: The standard model is there for ever and ever and ever.
"That influence humans" is a very important part of my statement.
An example: Dark matter, no one knows what it is, but it doesn't affect us humans.
It has been admitted time and again on this thread that scientists do not know all the answers. There are more questions than answers, but at least we are asking them.
Keratin, proteins and nucleotides definitely affect us, and no scientific explanation of how those proteins got to their destinations. I would say that is a science "That Influence humans" and yet know very little about.

the whole point of "dark energy/dark matter" is to keep the average man in the dark. i have no evidence to back up my statement, but nobody has found it so far and they never will.
You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd.
I've made a bit of study of English most of my life, and I've seen words change meanings and such. What's most fascinating is seeing the "bad grammar" of sentence fragments become common over the last 20 years.
Very common.
I was talking about the fundamental laws that influence humans. Iow a small part of the Standard_Model.
And Keratin, proteins and nucleotides must and are following those rules.
We know quite certainly that both dark matter and dark energy must exist, because of observations. But no one knows what it is atm.
That's not the tack I've been taking, Bill. We are still only talking hypothetically when it comes to understanding the expansion of the universe - which may not be accelerating after all!
Links please! I'm drawing a blank, other than finding the Ben Davidson who is an American football player.
But, what if these observations are based on imperfect models or inadequate data bases? (See my post #2328)
