Binding force

“There are four fundamental forces in physics: electromagnetism, strong nuclear interaction, weak nuclear interaction, and gravity. [These are] the forces that bind the universe. But what binds humans?

Love.

Powerful in small spaces yet with profound effect on distance.
Love defies time; outliving both its source and its object.
Love is faster than light, for light requires time in order to travel through space. But love reaches its object instantaneously.
Love journeys forever, into infinity.
And it’s here, binding together two lives.”
