Is There A Science To Cuteness?

You bet! I was really struck by that question and so I began my search through the definition of "Cute" after watching a video from a CNN Cute-reporter and reading and seeing an article over at Cute Overload. Here's what i got from Wikipedia:

Cuteness is a delicate and attractive kind of beauty commonly associated with youth, innocence, and helplessness. Human infants and many baby animals define "cuteness" for most people, and the standard characteristics of infancy are typically used to judge the cuteness of other phenomena (for example, plush toys or adult animals). A simple way to define cuteness is this: an object is cute if it instills in humans a desire to touch it.
Cuteness is usually characterized by (though not limited to) some combination of infant-like physical traits, especially small body size with a disproportionately big head, large eyes, a small nose, dimples, and chubby limbs. Infantile personality traits, such as playfulness, fragility, helplessness, innocence, affectionate behavior and a need to be nurtured are also generally considered cute.
And so the search for who is the cutest of all the cutest began. And the Jolie-Pitt baby is the one getting the lenses now a days... Why not Jash?
