When we talk about attraction, chemistry, and connection, we are describing real, measurable processes, many of which can be explained using physics concepts like forces, energy, and resonance :) Love as a Force In physics, forces are what make objects move or interact. In relationships, attraction can feel like an invisible force pulling two people together. While human attraction is more complex than gravity or electromagnetism, the analogy works. Like physical forces, attraction depends on distance, alignment, and compatibility. Two people who share interests, values, or experiences often feel a stronger pull toward each other.
