In the trailer for her directorial film debut,, which chronicles the life of Hargitay's motheractress opens up about her mother's status as a sex symbol.
"I've spent my whole life distancing myself from my mother, Jayne Mansfield, the sex symbol," Hargitay, 61, says in the trailer. "Her career made me want to do it differently, but I want to understand her now."When Hargitay was three years old, she and her two older brothers survived a car crash that killed Mansfield, 34, in 1967. The film will premiere on Max on June 27, just two days before the 58th anniversary of Mansfield's death.
"I don't have any memories of her," Hargitay says in the trailer. "And then my dad died in 2006. I've never talked to my siblings about their experiences,"
are all featured in the film.Decades later, an international collaboration of scientists decided to rerun the experiments with an even higher degree of precision. The team raced muons around a magnetic, ring-shaped track — the same one used in Brookhaven's experiment — and studied their signature wiggle at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory near Chicago.
The first two sets of results — unveiled in 2021 and 2023 — seemed to confirm the muons' weird behavior, prompting theoretical physicists to try to reconcile the new measurements with the Standard Model.Now, the group has completed the experiment and released a measurement of the muon's wobble that agrees with what they found before, using more than double the amount of data compared to 2023. They submitted their results to the journal Physical Review Letters.
That said, it's not yet closing time for our most basic understanding of what's holding the universe together. While the muons raced around their track, other scientists found a way to more closely reconcile their behavior with the Standard Model with the help of supercomputers.There's still more work to be done as researchers continue to put their heads together and future experiments take a stab at measuring the muon wobble — including one at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex that's expected to start near the end of the decade. Scientists also are still analyzing the final muon data to see if they can glean information about other mysterious entities like dark matter.
