It's interesting people who participate in the experiment, or who think about it, know that such a love!
Perhaps that without understanding what is at stake and the results are not true.
What is love?

Oh, @leonid96, I am really sorry, but I don't understand what you are trying to convey. I read and reread your comment a few times, still couldn't get it.
Well, this claim is not for me, but for Google translator, I'm joking.
I said that it would not be bad to begin to define what "love" is, and then to investigate this phenomenon.
Oh! Thank you for writing back.
But, please note that is what the psychologists in this study did. They categorized love into two kinds: passionate and companionate. Then, conducted the research :)
Well, how not to get from you the answer to a simple question, what is "love". Is this your post higher? Is it about love?
Hello there again @leonid96 :)
Ow, I see, you think 'what is love?' is a simple question! I am afraid I don't. Perhaps it is because in psychology we see 'love' as having many different meanings. Even if the love in question is romantic love, which, like I said before, in this study has been categorized and defined as:
Passionate - A cluster of feelings that encompasses intense emotions such as lust, excitement, yearning and jealousy.
Companionate - A state associated with milder emotions like commitment, closeness and attachment.
But you see, In some circles, love is not even considered an emotion. But rather, motivation - this is more of a neuropsychological perspective involving the dopaminergic system. The argument for this is the sort of different emotional states elicited by the circumstances; for example, whether it is reciprocated (eliciting euphoria), or not (eliciting sadness).
You could say this post is about love, yes :)
Considering that you appear to be interesting in my very own definition of what love is, well, as a non-romantic, I don't really believe in the kind of romantic love depicted in current entertainment (eg. soaps, movies, series). But, I do think it is an emotion that evolution has cannily worked on to keep us passing on our genetic material and raising our offsprings safely as well as collaboratively.
As for the other question:
I am sorry, I don't understand what you mean.
Thank you for taking the interest!
Best :)
Thank you, really I was interested in your opinion, as well as scientific. The fact is, there does not seem to be such a scientific concept as love. Probably, most people tend to think this is brain chemistry or the state into which a person "got", as you indicated in your comments.
Romance, like love, and everything related to it, it seems more like a fiction of a man. It was done with the purpose to give a human face a human face, humanize it. I hope, clearly translated the last sentence. If you look at a person from a biological point of view, then this is a machine that performs a certain set of commands. Therefore, attributing to the person, something special type of Love, naming with feelings, as if it comes from within ... well, I do not know, it's not grounded ... not scientifically ...
Everything that happens to us happens in the brain, and it looks like a set of simple commands that control our body. And even if you have a pang in your heart, from the synthetic picture you saw, it is still a consequence of the work of your brain.
Thank you for your answers and comments. Have a good day.
😊
how would you define love? Or in which context have you thought about it?
biologically I would say that a human is an organism that performs relational contact towards his environment of other organisms with which he interdepends. The organism "human" has direct and indirect relations to all other organisms on the planet, be it simple ones or complex ones. Bacteria live in the human body and are being hosted without as well as with some problems. The skin is the interface between the inner and the outer system and it's designed elegantly not to let too much things through but being not too solid as to stay sensitive to touch in this particularly humanly way. One also could say that the bee and the flower is one organism and if you think about it you could actually attribute all of the diverse organisms on earth as one huge organism each and every one of them is interconnected. Some relations are really fancy and peaceful, some aren't. Some are using others to sneak in and some do sacrifice themselves to protect another. Did you know that mushrooms/spores in the ground have a huge net so that they serve as a kind of communication network? ... Oh well ... I digressed :) was just wanting to correct a little the biological description...
