      Hi Anna,

      Very interesting (and also tricky!) question. I guess when we the feeling of love is caused by chemical processes in the brain. In this sense, love could be described based on how the brain works, which mainly uses biology and chemistry, not to mention some physics for the electric signals the brain has to process!
