i was reading a journal on a website stating sex and it says the right chemistry for sex. So is it possible you can't have a mate unless the chemistry is equal to one?
Sex is a physical phenomena (like arguably, everything). But there isn't an equation for it! And there is certainly many possible people.
it really makes topics of "free will" interesting in such contexts, no?It's all physical attraction. Your brain is a physical system. (Particularrally chemical and electrical. ) Any physical system can in principle be described with equations. The brain is a very complex system and it's not currently feasible to do so, but at least in concept, it could be done.
No one mentioned romance - romance is fantastical.Really, people need to stop using the term "chemistry" when talking about romance. Now.
Attraction is instinctive, psychological and based on chemistry - physical compatibility, astrology, pheromones, and physical prowess amongst other factors.
Not quite, not all physical systems are mechanistically deterministic. I.e. Quantum mechanics which is random and probabilistic. Small molecules and ions are on the quantum scale not the classical scale. They also play a large role in how your brain works.it really makes topics of "free will" interesting in such contexts, no?
I don't believe in "fate" in the sense that people tend to use the term, although, technically speaking, since the brain and its environment <ie its surroundings at any given time on this planet, including any and all stimuli> are all technically "knowable", it could be argued we all walk a path so exact that it makes "fate" look like "freedom", and that - with enough of this data, and of course the means to process it, we could actually predict any and every piece of the future![]()

Quantum mechanics can't save the notion of free will, though, random chance leaves no more room for agency than does the certainty of classical mechanics.Not quite, not all physical systems are mechanistically deterministic. I.e. Quantum mechanics which is random and probabilistic.
That's quite a leap of faith, and not really consistent with our best current scientific theories.I strongly suspect that 'random' element in ANY theory is simply something that's random because we've yet to understand it thoroughly enough
