Love is like a Bubble gum, when it sticks it can make you crazy.

According to Al Pacino in "The Devil's Advocate" it is chemically equivalent to eating large amounts of chocolate.
I mean, you have to believe the movies, right?
Love is not a scientific concept. It is an emotional/social concept one that varies from person to person and experience to experience. 10 different people will give you 20 different definitions for love.

You could say that emotions are just another way nature found to make sure life would go on on Earth. Basically, we are attracted to the other sex so that we can reproduce. Of course, there's more to love than just attraction. This feeling evolved with our society. Now, human beings don't just make children... They live together. Split the bills. Raise their children. Eventually, we realize that we need more than beauty. Love is a mix of all that. We need to get along with our loved one, share the same values, respect him/her...
Also, there are chemicals (pheromones) which are supposed to play a part in the attraction between people. Whether these chemicals play a part in "love" is unknown...
You could say that love is nature's way to ensure that humans reproduce in our society. It's a weird mix between physical attraction and emotional need of companionship.

Maybe...
We say we love our parents, significant others, teddy bears, songs, places, friends, cars, etc., etc. Why do these have to be all different kinds of love?
Maybe love is nothing more than how much you think about something. After all, you think about your significant other the most, followed usually by your parents then friends and on down. You (well, most people anyway) only really think about songs when you hear them or pets when you're with them. You still love them, just not as much.
I dunno, just a thought.

No. (A) nobody even agrees about what "love" is.
(B) Science is, by definition, concerned only with physically measurable phenomena of the known universe.
Subjective feelings, para-normal phenomena, magic, and religion may be fascinating or compel your faith--but they are not "science". They have their own fields of study.
Love is outside the realm of science. michael
