Love’s Energy Rating
Since everything has an energy content according to E=mc2 and everything is positive or negative, where on an energy rating scale would love or hate be?

It depends on how the scale is calibrated. If zero represents my emotional response to your question, then I’d say love would be plus gazillion and hate would be minus ten. You seem to prove the maxim, “a little knowledge is a bad thing”. Everything is a continuum, we are all points on a line, dust in the wind. If you were to stick your head at the target end of a linear accelerator, you’d find out just how much potential energy is contained between your ears. Not that I’m suggesting you do such a thing. No, I’m cool and detatched. Scientific. Even regarding your question.
