Hi meekerdb
Love is a qualia and science cannot touch qualia.
Science can touch everything. And assuming comp science can explain
why qualia are not scientific or communicable. they still remain real
phenomena on which science can say something, even if negative.

Yes . "I love my mother" is some knowledge that I know , and is not
part of a scientific theory.
But could it be is the question. There could be a scientific theory
that Alberto Corona loves his mother and you could know the theory.
We know reality because we live in the reality, We do not
approximate reality by theories. We directly know reality because we
live within it. Our primary knowledge is intuitive, historic,
direct.. It is _the_ reality.
A theory is a second class of knowledge about a model that
approximate reality, maybe upto a point of an isomorphism with some-
part-of reality, but certainly, not an isomorphism that embraces the
whole reality, because we could never know if we have modelized the
entire reality, nether if this modelization is accurate.
The legitimate usage of the models is to refine this intuitive
knowledge. But at the worst, a model can negate our direct
knowledge and try to create an alternative reality. In this case the
theorist reclaim the model as the reality. Thus the
theorist .reclaim a complete knowledge of reality. In this case the
theorist is outside of science, even if it is within the science
industry, and becomes a sort of gnostic preacher
Yes, a model that includes everything is impossible (and not even
useful), but it might still be that each thing you know is part of
some model.
