No, if you define real as physical. But then you exclude consciousness, emotion, and God. For some, that is the intent. That's the reductionist materialist philosophy.

Frank, why would you have to define the study of science with only the physical. The word science means the study of, and the scientific method of study can be use on other then the physical. Also Einstein has stated that mater is frozen energy. Is energy physical? One example of the study of God would be a religion called Christian Science which is the study of God. This is just one example there are many more.

If you have a broad enough definition of Science, no. Some people would exclude things such as pure mathematics, the social "sciences", and the liberal arts.

I remember Richard Feynman using love as an example. It's part of one of the audio tapes you can get of some of the Feynman lectures.

Not that I know of - but that's what science is all about, isn't it?
