I'm a physics teacher, and we just did Universal Gravitation last week. I whimsically explained it as "the longing of everything for everything". (They liked it, but devolved into a giggle fest about being attracted to each other.)
Other easily romantic notions in physics:
* we are all born of star stuff
* every breath we take has elements of the same breath as every human who ever lived (excluding some currently living ones, due to diffusion rates, but eventually...)
* (The current grav force between my partner and me is 1.9159965e-15 N)
- pm 9y agoThat's a great lyric - I will have to put it into a song. Credit goes to pugio.

Is it conceivable that some of the oxygen and nitrogen, etc, in the atmosphere today wasn’t present in the atmosphere, say, 40,000 years ago due to it being bound up in minerals or biological matter?
