Love ...

This is a subject on which I never thought I would be writing something before just now. Anyways here I am.
Obviously love is something on which greatest of poets, writers, philosophers have written.
Wait a minute just when I wrote my last line I just thought may be I can read other people's point of view before I write mine (although definitely it should not affect my thoughts). I was surprised to see this article

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love#Chemical_basis

Honestly I had never thought there can be a chemical explanation for love but here it is. Specially there are these few lines from the above article.

Recent studies in neuroscience have indicated that as people fall in love, the brain consistently releases a certain set of chemicals, including pheromones, dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, which act in a manner similar to amphetamines, stimulating the brain's pleasure center and leading to side effects such as increased heart rate, loss of appetite and sleep, and an intense feeling of excitement. Research has indicated that this stage generally lasts from one and a half to three years.

These lines have made me believe that there will be time when Science will be able to explain almost everything. Scientists may give a theory atleast for each thing in the world which would people accept and would be too difficult to prove wrong. A lot of people believe Big bang theory.
Seems like I am diverting from topic :P. But I am really out of words after reading this article may be sometime later I shall write my views :)

When I look at this article I feel that I have written this article yesterday, sometimes time just passes by so quickly and you just don't even realize it
