Could Science ever understand LOVE ?

I don't believe so. Maybe only in a chemical sense in the way it affects the brain.

No. From a chemical standpoint we already understand. But love is ethereal, no? And science can't explain that.

A Scientific Equation for Love ?

Nope. Can't be done. Because love is so many things. It is it's own opposite. (meaning Hate). It all inclusive. It is Pleasure and Pain. Anger and Joy. Lust and Disgust... you get my meaning.

i love my kids. i know for sure that type of love is a reality. i don't think love, as most people believe it to be,is real. to love you have to trust and trust does not exist. there is no such thing as complete trust. it is not possible for anyone to know what is truly in someone else's mind. therefore, in my opinion you can have strong feelings for someone and be attracted to them but that's all it is. love and trust are what fairy tales are made of.

love is matching baggage....matching ideas, matching or complimenting chemistries

its always evaded me unfortunately (or fortunately I'm not so sure)

I dont think so...Love has a life of its own. It can continue to grow but sometimes for no reason it can also die...Love is another one of lives mysteries..

There are pheromones and hormones and rising serotonin and dopamine levels when one is in love. But, just like bp, there is more to it than chemistry. Why? Are you creating a love potion?

love is a farce, there is no such thing.... therefore since it doesn't exist, sience can't explain it....

kinda like antimatter and string theory sounds good but your guess is as good as mine

Love is real, it is hope its is an ideal, it is how a mother loves her child, love is pain, love lives within each and everything and everyone. Love is real, Intangible. Inexplicable. Sort after. Killed for. Out of reach and within ones grasp.
Love is everywhere even in sorrow. Love is even in loss.
Love is wanted and thrown away.

To my knowledge there is no scientific tool or instrument that can measure love.

If real knowledge is gained only through rational/observational/experimental inquiry. Then according to science, love does not exist!

It must suck to wear a lab coat.

I'm not fond of labs myself. All they do is retrieve. So what do they need a coat for anyway?

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
