This is why it happens for seemingly "no reason" at times.
But yeah, are you two separated permanently or is there still a chance to get back together you think?
You make me laugh sometimes, Sarge.
"Science" tries to explain love as a chemical in the brain, because it has one eye firmly shut. You can't know an elephant has a tail if you never see it from behind.
Love is not just a chemical reaction in the brain, although the experience corresponds to chemical presence and changes in the brain and body. Love is not a physical thing, and "science" has no way of measuring it directly, just like life itself, or consciousness. They are forms of energy which cannot be explained by science yet because of the limitations in detecting and understanding those things at this time.
Science does not know what consciousness is... or life... or emotion. There's no detector that can currently detect these things directly. We can see their effects on the body and on the things around us, indirectly... but the energies themselves are not yet detectable "scientifically" in a direct way. Although there is some evidence that they may be close.
