When Eric Goulden was a young man, his mother said to him, “There is only one girl in the world for you, and she probably lives in Tahiti.” She paused, and then added, “Or maybe she’s in the Bahamas, where the Caribbean Sea is blue.” Eric resolved to travel the whole wide world to find this woman. Eric, better known as rock singer Wreckless Eric, once penned a song that outlined perfectly the problem of the soul mate theory: that is, that each of us only has one person in the world meant for them. “The Whole Wide World,” later covered by Will Ferrell in the film Stranger Than Fiction as well as a host of bands such as The Proclaimers and The Monkees, describes the desperate measure a young man will go to find his one girl.

But if we all only have one single random soul mate, what are the chances we would ever meeting that person?

This is one of the many absurd hypothetical questions that plague Randall Munroe. A former NASA roboticist, Munroe now draws the geek cult webcomic “xkcd,” described by The Economist as “an eclectic mixture of science, maths and whimsy served three times a week.” Since, what if?, a subsection of the site, has encouraged readers to throw questions to Munroe, which he attempts to answer to the best of science’s ability. A what if? book based on his answers was released last September. Apart from examining machine-gun jetpacks, orbital submarines, the effects of everyone jumping at once and the Force power of Yoda, Munroe also examined the question of soul mates.

SO, WHAT ARE THE ODDS?

What is a love stare?

The love gaze is the staring into each other's eyes by two people who are falling or in love. A study was conducted to determine the gaze of someone in love versus someone in lust. Those in lust tended to look at the body, while those in love looked at the face and in the eyes.

They say the eyes are the windows to our souls. I am not so sure about the soul part, but the eyes say more than we realize at times. Our eyes can betray us, and tell our true feelings when we are trying to hide them. The eyes can show excitement, and anger. They even communicate fear, confusion, and dishonesty. The eyes also reveal love and lust. Have you ever locked eyes with a stranger? Maybe on a train or at a bar? You might have felt an instant attraction. You liked what you saw and wanted to keep staring. You felt lust.
