Here are the quotes https://www.symmetrymagazine.org/article/show-your-affection-with-physics-valentines , I find them funny except for the last one is hurtful, I shouldn't say such a thing for someone on a valentine's day because they would care about the valentine's day, personally I find it quite a hassle.
However, what do you think of those quotes? What is your favorite one and why? and which of the mimicked topics is the one that interests you the most?

I do find these quotes humorous and clever, but I agree that the last one could be seen as hurtful. Valentine's Day is a special day for many people, and it's important to be considerate of others' feelings.

My favorite quote from the article is "You must be a proton, because you're positively attractive." I find this one to be both cute and scientifically accurate. Protons have a positive charge, and it's a clever way to compliment someone's attractiveness.

In terms of the mimicked topics, I am most interested in the ones related to astrophysics and quantum mechanics. I find the mysteries of the universe and the behavior of subatomic particles to be fascinating and mind-boggling. It's always exciting to see these complex concepts being incorporated into something as lighthearted as Valentine's Day quotes.
