How do people fall in love?

Near the middle of the Milky Way galaxy on a medium size star, hydrogen, helium and other elements (including Fe, Ni, O, Si, S, Mg, C, Ne, Ca, and Cr) burnt at a temperature of approximately 5,780 Kelvin. This process released millions of photons, which took 8.31 minutes, travelling at 1,079,252,848.8 km/h (670,616,629.2 miles per hour) to cross 150 million km (93 million miles) of empty space. On reaching the earth’s atmosphere, preferential scattering removed some of the blue photons giving the sky its blue hue and giving the remaining light a golden glow. These light particles continued their journey towards the earth’s surface and fell onto her face, then reflected into my eyes approximately 15 nanoseconds later. This sparked the most amazing process of all; love.
