And yet another fun aspect about this...
Funny how this ties back in.
From PHYSLINK
“At rest, muons disintegrate in about 2 x 10-6seconds and should not have time to reach the Earth's surface given their speed and travel distance. Because they move at close to the speed of light, however, time dilation extends their life span as seen from Earth so they can be observed at the surface before they disintegrate.”
