Miguel eyed today’s suggested experiment sideways, then shrugged. “Okay. Today’s is another song. Which I don’t even think we have to listen to, though hey, if that’s your thing...” He shrugged and played it. “It’s called, ‘What is the Light? (An Untested Hypothesis Suggesting that the Chemical in our Brains by Which We are able to Experience the Sensation of Being in Love is the Same Chemical that Caused the “Big Bang” that was the Birth of the Accelerating Universe’.”
He set up the lab with brain-scan equipment and small contained globes of proto-matter. “So, find someone in love - yourself or a classmate, or heck, go looking - test their brains, and then once you have a chemical nailed down, synthesize it - I’ll just program it in for you, that’s not the point of today’s lesson - add it to your little pre-universe, and see if you can make it go boom.”
Hopefully not along with the rest of the class.

Re: Class Activity!
"Yeah," she murmured, frowning at Mr. O'Hara with a glower that suggested he should maybe just stick with plants and things with pinwheels, "this whole theory seems incredibly flawed and unscientific straight out the gate. Not only is the likelihood of finding anyone actually in love unlikely, but the whole idea that it would have the power to create anything but a misleading psychosomatic response is...."
She was just going to go ahead and say it. "Stupid. It's stupid. Love is just a lie we tell ourselves to explain away our bodies and brains doing things we can't otherwise control."
She did like the song, though.
But she was kinda going through some stuff right now, okay, and really wondering why she kept bothering going to class.
