DHW asks (in his last post in the "Paranormal" thread): However, if you can point me in a direction where I might find what you consider to be a reliable scientific explanation of the nature of love, the impact of music or the origin of ideas, I will be most grateful. - I've done a bit of Googling, and offer these sites for your perusal. You will undoubtedly find some more scientific than others! -
