The following is taken from a letter written by Albert Einstein.
“There is an extremely powerful force that, so far, science has not found a formal explanation to. It is a force that includes and governs all others and is even behind any phenomenon operating in the universe and has not yet been identified by us.
This universal force is LOVE.
This force explains everything and gives meaning to life. This is the variable that we have ignored for too long, maybe because we are afraid of love because it is the only energy in the universe that man has not learned to drive at will.
To give visibility to love, I made a simple substitution in my most famous equation.
If instead of E = mc2, we accept that the energy to heal the world can be obtained through love multiplied by the speed of light squared, we arrive at the conclusion that love is the most powerful force there is, because it has no limits.”
Here are 50 examples of the power of love.
1. Monogamy exists in the animal kingdom
Humans are not alone when it comes to monogamous relationships. Just to name a few, wolves, swans, gibbons, and even termites share this trait with us.
2. It only takes 4 minutes
In marketing, there is the 3 second rule. That’s the amount of time you have to catch a buyer’s attention. If you’re looking for a relationship, you have 4 minutes to make a good impression.
Guess what some researchers say happens when you gaze into the eyes of the one you love. If a couple is in a bonded, romantic relationship, their heart rates sync after 3 minutes.
Falling in love is a natural high. The neurological effects are much like a dose of cocaine, where the brain triggers sensations of euphoria.
Are you a cuddler? Research says that cuddling with your love produces oxytocin, called the cuddle hormone. It’s said to decrease headaches and for some makes the pain go away completely after 4 hours.
It’s well-known that when patients have loved ones around them, their health improves faster. An experiment has now approved that even having a picture of a loved one can help reduce pain and speed up recovery.
both psychological and social studies indicate a pattern of people choosing romantic relationships with people who share their own level of attractiveness. Meaning that they are equally socially desirable.
You’ve heard that opposites attract. And that is partially true. However, couples that are too similar or too different probably won’t last.
A broken heart is more than just a metaphor. Traumatizing events such as divorce, breakups, or the death of a loved one do cause real physical pain in the area of the heart.
10. Stands the test of time
Love changes. What started out as romantic love in a couple will eventually change to something called the “committed love” stage.
Yes, there are similarities between the two. Early in the relationship people through lower levels of serotonin, which is exhibited by feelings of happiness and well-being. But at the same time, they have higher levels of cortisol which is associated with stress. This is basically the formula of OCD.
12. What are you thinking about?
Research says that reminders of love will influence abstracting creative thinking leading to thoughts of long-term relationships and commitment. Reminders of slacks influence a person to focus on fleeting details.
13. The triangular theory of love.
This theory suggests a formula to create perfect love. It’s attachment + caring + intimacy = the perfect love.
14. Long-term relationships.
There is apparent evidence that when someone is considering a fling, the body wins over the face in terms of physical attraction. However, those looking for a long-term relationship are more interested in the face
if you’re a long-term relationship, simply holding your partner’s hand can reduce stress. This is especially true for those with deep, strong connections to each other.
Call the one you love and express to them why you are grateful they are in your live. Science proves just doing that single thing will make you happier.
17. Those crazy butterflies.
When you’re falling for someone it feels like they are divebombing your stomach. And the sensation is real. It’s caused by adrenaline, which is flooding your body.
18. My, what the pupils who have.
The pupils expand when we focus on something including the object of our desire. And interestingly, this makes you more attractive to them.
19. The eyes of the mirrors of the soul.
If that’s true, it should come as no surprise that simply looking into someone’s eyes can make us fall for them. It’s been proven that when someone is staring at you the body produces a chemical called phenylethylamine. If you don’t flee, you might get hit with Cupid’s arrow.
20. Love is all that really matters.
And that’s been proven through a 75 year study done by a group of Harvard researchers. The participants of the study shared that love or searching for love is what brought happiness and fulfilment.
Jealously is rottenness. But researchers have found that people who were thinking about love found a specific kind of food sweeter than those thinking about jealousy.
Hypopituitarism. This is a rare disease that some who claim to have never fallen in love may suffer from.
23. Third finger, left hand.
According to Greek mythology this finger contains the “vein of love.” A vein that runs straight from the heart. This is the reason why engagement and wedding rings are typically on this finger.
Is it real, or are your emotions playing tricks on you? Perhaps it’s just “frustration attraction,” something that may occur after being dumped. It’s when we suddenly want someone even more when they admit they don’t want us.
You find yourself falling for someone who reminds you of one of your parents? Psychologists say we do this only if we have unresolved issues with a parent, and that we are trying to resolve that childhood relationship as an adult.
26. Adrenaline heats things up.
If a couple meets during a dangerous situation, studies show this increases the chances of them falling in love. If the same couple met during everyday circumstances, they might not connect.
Studies say that timing influences when we fall in love. That it’s more probable for someone to fall in love when they are experiencing or looking for significant changes in their lives.
Studies show that women are more likely to fall for a man who is ambitious, educated, taller than they are, and who has wealth, status, and a sense of humor. They also prefer men who have strong jaw line and distinctive cheekbones, which are linked to testosterone levels.
Want to fall in love? Some scientists suggest that just looking into someone’s eyes for 90 minutes without saying anything is a strong precursor of love.
Studies of the brain show that men falling in love are more visual, yet it’s the memory portions of a woman’s brain that are more active during this time. Suggesting that women are remembering aspects of a man’s behavior before deciding on him as a partner.
Rushing into a relationship often ends in divorce. However, the longer and more thoughtful of courtship is the better the chances of a lasting relationship.
It’s been proven that men and women feel love differently. While a woman will often feel more cherished when speaking face-to-face with their partner, men are more emotionally connected when doing something side-by-side with their partner.
Studies show the first love often doesn’t last. Actually, most people will fall in love about seven times before finally marrying.
34. The Matching Hypotheses.
It has been hypothesized that people who are at the same level of attractiveness are more likely to end up together. So opposites really don’t attract.
Science has proven that colors can evoke emotion. If you’re looking for a man, they are more inclined to engage in deeper conversation with someone wearing red. Even if the style of clothing is exactly the same.
Love or sex? Researchers have found that thinking about love can influence creativity, abstract thoughts, and long-term planning. However, thinking about sex influences immediate decision-making.
This came as a surprise. Statistically, it’s men who are more likely to see those three words in a relationship that women. And they’re also the ones to be more emotionally affected by a breakup.
I guess it doesn’t matter if you’re in a tree or not. But research shows that kissing extends your lifespan, and that men who kiss their wives each morning are said to live up to five years longer than men who don’t.
39. Thinking of trying a love potion?
Perhaps you’ll want to think again. They’re made from human sweat, since it carries pheromones, and this is one of the key ingredients of attraction.
Did you know that our brains judge beauty based on symmetry? Research says that a man with a symmetrical face starts having sex 4 years earlier and will have more sex and lovers throughout his life than a man without a symmetrical face. Women are said to have more orgasms if they have a symmetrical face.
I guess there’s a reason you hit the restaurant first. According to one study of brain scans, women are more responsive to romantic stimuli if they have just eaten a meal.
Are you a supportive partner? You can expect to have a longer relationship than those who are not because studies have found it’s one of the most crucial factors in a relationship—being able to celebrate their good news.
Love is blind. When you are new in love the neural circuits that are associated with social judgment are suppressed.
We’re used to seeing the heart symbol represent love but that wasn’t always the case. Before 1250 CE, of the heart symbol represented foliage.
Is your life busy? Do you have a lot to do and accomplish? Then don’t fall in love, because science proves that being in love makes you less productive.
