Is there an answer to this question?

Do you think that's what's being discussed?

We're certainly not discussing your sense of humor.

Well, just trying not to derail the thread.

Then you shouldn't bring up made up concepts outside of your own threads.

The OP is asking about the weight of love. What do you think?

The OP is asking about the weight of love. What do you think?

I love my girlfriend. I could weigh her. What else are we asking?

Why aren't you addressing the issue?

Thoughts don't have weight.

 

[MoreCoffee]

So remind me, why is logic true?

 

[justlookinla]

Thoughts don't have weight.

I agree.

 

[MoreCoffee]

Thoughts don't have weight.

If thoughts don't have weight then do they really exist? Can you name something that really exists that has no mass and hence no weight?

How much does love weigh?

Sorry I don't do philosophical nonsense.

Aren't thoughts electrical impulses in the brain? Of course on would need to identify the source of those thoughts, IMO.

How much does love weigh?

The people I love do weigh something. Parents, spouse, cousins, uncles, aunts, friends. They are all able to be weighed since they exist. I can measure the events that led me to love these people. I think that answers the question as best as possible.

Interesting idea, I presume the idea is "electrical impulses in the brain". Would one get some thoughts if one ran an electric current through a cadaver's brain?

Interesting question. This would mean that consciousness is more than just the brain.

How much does your love weigh, not the weight of those you love.

Seems so. Is it something that can be weighed?
