, 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

Greater London (AFP) British Prime Minister David Cameron said on Sunday
that the Syrian conflict was "on the wrong trajectory", admitting the Assad
regime may be getting stronger, and urged more help for opposition forces."It's
very depressing picture and it's a picture that is, I think, on
the wrong trajectory," Cameron said in an interview with the BBC.He added:
"You've got an evil president who's doing dreadful things to his people...
I think he may be stronger than he was a few months
ago."But I'd still describe the situation as a stalemate."Cameron said Britain
had still not decided whether to arm the rebels fighting President Bashar
al-Assad, but said more could be done to help those who wanted
a democratic Syria."We do need to do more to help promote those
parts of the opposition that want a free, pluralistic, democratic Syria,"
he said."We're not arming the rebels. We have made no decision about
that."It's no good complaining about the rebels if you're not going to
try and help those that want a free, democratic, pluralistic Syria."And
that's why we're helping with non-military equipment, we're helping with
technical assistance and training."The prime minister admitted there was
"too much extremism" among some of the rebels, but insisted "that's not

opt for negotiations to avoid a risky confrontation with the U.S. that
could spell the end of his Palestinian Authority, analysts said. "Abbas
is going for talks with Israel to avoid the U.S. blame, because
he couldn't move against its (Washington's) will," predicted George Giacaman,
a political scientist in the West Bank.___Karin Laub, chief correspondent
for the Palestinian territories, has covered the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

FILE: July 27, 2011 A section of vacant stores in Detroit.APThe bankruptcy
filing for Detroit marks a final step in the chrome-plated citys decades-long
decline which started with the countrys overall manufacturing slowdown
and continued with the departure of U.S. automakers and residents, leaving
behind a sprawling city trying to survive on dwindling coffers.Detroit was
in the 1950s a worldwide hub of auto manufacturing, making it the
fourth-largest U.S. city with one of the countrys highest per-capita incomes.However,
the so-called Motor Citys decline started soon after with residents -- following
their counterparts in other U.S. cities starting to move to the
suburbs and take with them businesses, jobs and tax dollars.Historians argue
the deadly 1967 riot in Detroit, one of the many so-called race
riots across the country in the 1960s, accelerated the trend.And as the
population dwindled from roughly 1.8 million to 700,000, city officials
struggled to keep up with municipal services in the 142-square-mile city,
with a tax base just half of what it was in the
1950s.Meanwhile, auto companies began opening plants in other cities as
Japan-made cars dominated the international market.By 2009, the U.S. auto
industry collapsed with the entire economy, eventually pulling down Detroit
with it.The citys efforts to provide and maintain such basic services as
law enforcement and trash removal were further complicated by the costs
of paying uni
