Love might be a second-order phase transition

Dmitry Solnyshkov, Guillaume Malpuech

Published 2022-03-24Version 1

The hypothesis of the human brain operation in vicinity of a critical point has been a matter of a hot debate in the recent years. The evidence for a possibility of a naturally occurring phase transition across this critical point was missing so far. Here we show that love might be an example of such second-order phase transition. This hypothesis allows to describe both love at first sight and love from liking or friendship.
