t take that at all to mean that we're
constructing reality," he told LiveScience.All in the mindAs members of
society, people create a form of collective reality. "We are all part
of a community of minds," Freeman says in the show.For example, money,
in reality, consists of pieces of paper, yet those papers represent something
much more valuable. The pieces of paper have the power of life
and death, Freeman says but they wouldn't be worth anything if people
didn't believe in their power.Money is fiction, but it's useful fiction.Another
fiction humans collectively engage in is optimism. Neuroscientist Tali Sharot
of University College London studies "the optimism bias": people's tendency
to generally overestimate the likelihood of positive events in their lives
and underestimate the likelihood of negative ones.In the show, Sharot does
an experiment in which she puts a man in a brain scanner,
and asks him to rate the likelihood that negative events, such as
lung cancer, will happen to him. Then, he is given the true
likelihood.When the actual risks differ from the man's estimates, his frontal
lobes light up. But the brain area does a better job of
reacting to the discrepancy when the reality is more positive than what
he guessed, Sharot said.This shows how humans are somewhat hardwired to
be optimistic. That may be because optimism "tends to have a lot
of positive outcomes," Sharot told LiveScience. Optimistic people tend to
live longer
the tanker's three escorts, the USS Joyce,
saw it on sonar and severely damaged it by dropping depth charges.The
Germans, forced to surface, manned their deck guns while another escort
vessel, the USS Gandy, returned fire and rammed the U-boat. The third
escort, the USS Peterson, then hit the U-boat with two more depth
charges. The crew abandoned the submarine, but not before setting off explosions
to scuttle it. The submarine hadn't been seen again until Monday.The U-550
is one of several World War II-era German U-boats that have been
discovered off the U.S. coast, but it's the only one that went
down in that area, Mazraani said. He said it's been tough to
find largely because military positioning of the battle was imprecise, and
searchers had only a general idea where the submarine was when it
sank. Kozak noted that the site is far offshore and has only
limited windows of good weather.The team towed a side-scan sonar vessel
in a mow-the-lawn pattern over the search area and found the U-500
after covering 100 square miles of ocean, between the trip this year
and last year, Kozak said.Just the nose of U-boat was visible on
sonar on the first pass, but the team was delirious after the
second pass. when the sonar image made it obvious they'd found it,
Mazraani said. Quick dives to the wreck to beat bad weather confirmed
the find with pictures.The other team members were Steve Gatto, Tom Packer,
Brad Sheard, Eric Takakjian and Anthony Te
