PITTSBURGH An unidentified city police sergeant is facing possible discipline
for having his picture taken in uniform while wearing a unicorn mask
and standing next to a porn star who had just been thrown
out of a Pittsburgh Pirates game for dancing in the costume head.But
the woman who took the picture, an adult film producer named Steviee
Hughes, said she's not sure what the fuss is all about, though
she's assuming it has more to do with adult entertainer Andy San
Dimas posing next to the officer than it does the oversized animal
head he wore on July 13.Calling it a "mountain made out of
mole hill," Hughes said, "I'm sure if she wouldn't have been a
porn star, it would have been OK."City public safety officials said Dimas
was in town last Saturday to dance at a local night club
but went to the Pirates game first and was ejected by security
for refusing to sit down after she was seen dancing while wearing
the large unicorn head.When Dimas was taken to a security office at
PNC Park, the sergeant and others were standing around and Hughes said
he agreed to wear the unicorn head and pose for a picture,
which Hughes then posted on Twitter.That's when the tweet hit the fan.Gossipy
news blogs Deadspin and TMZ posted the photo as well as cellphone
video Hughes shot of Dimas dancing in the unicorn head just before
she was ejected. Rumors spread that the dancer was high on drugs
or part of a sexual cult fixated on unicorns.Hughes said the tr
, healthier, more successful lives, she said, and the act of
positive thinking can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. "If you think you're
more likely to get promoted, you're more likely to put in more
effort and work long hours," Sharot said.But this slightly distorted view
of the world can also be a weakness a person might continue
to smoke because they don't expect to get lung cancer, for example.
Being more realistic is important in some cases, Sharot cautioned.Physical
realityPhysicists look beyond the human mind for external reality, but even
that reality isn't absolute truth. Fundamental reality as scientists understand
it is based on quantum mechanics, a realm where all manner of
strange things occur. An electron can behave as either a particle or
a wave, depending on how one measures it. And scientists can measure
either a particle's position or its momentum at any given time, but
never both."Quantum mechanics is simply the best theory we've ever developed,"
theoretical physicist David Tong, of Cambridge University, says in the show.
But so much of this reality is by definition unknowable. Another physicist
featured in the show, Steven Nahn of MIT, says "I absolutely believe
reality is a real thing, but that does not mean we understand
it." Nahn was part of the team of scientists who found evidence
in 2012 for the Higgs boson, the particle that gives other particles
their mass.The universe may turn out to have more dimensions than
