• Why don't laboratory muons time dilate & travel 16,000 meters instead o

    From Laurence Clark Crossen@21:1/5 to All on Sat Aug 26 16:34:20 2023
    "Why not the muons produced in the laboratory experience the same time
    dilation and length contraction if their speed was same as that of the cosmic ray muons? And if they did, why haven’t we seen the laboratory muons travel the same 16000 meters as their cosmic counter parts? And if they travelled 16000 meters distance in their life span of 2 microseconds, what would be
    their speed?
    So it is just rubbish all the way down, not even tortoises! The tortoise model of the
    universe is much better than relativity." - "Muon’s time dilation | Science versus Truth"

    "Particles travelling in Storage Ring Accelerators
    Apparently when muons were made to travel at a very high speed (0.99c) in a large
    diameter ring accelerator at Brookhaven, they experienced time dilation as exactly
    predicted by special relativity. And recently, scientists have apparently observed the
    same thing happening with lithium ions travelling in storage ring accelerators. http://www.nature.com/news/special-relativity-aces-time-trial-1.15970
    But muons travelling in circular orbits are actually in accelerated motion and not in
    uniform motion. We know that according to the religion of relativity, SR applies to
    particles in uniform motion and GR for particles in accelerated motion. (In fact,
    some physics prophets use circular motion to ‘illustrate’ the effects of GR: The
    Elegant Universe by Brain Greene). So if the stupid theory of relativity were to be
    correct, the particles travelling in ring accelerators must have experienced time
    dilation as predicted by the general relativity but not special relativity." -IBID.

    Wait a minute. You are trying to argue against relativity but you don't
    even understand the basics of the cosmic muons? Are you that clueless?

    The muons from space are of a higher speed (gamma=10 if I recall). The
    lab muons are near stationary.

    Cosmic winds get slower by universal gravity.
    Their star source has to provide an original acceleration to the particle cosmic wind.
    What is the accelerator of cosmic wind particles?
    Then leaving the star by escape velocity the star gravity would slow them down.

    Cosmic muons get accelerated to near light speed by what?
    and what would give them a preferred direction?
    Why do solar prominences fall back?
    The muon would slow down by leaving its star gravity.
    Mouns are subject to high gravity strength star escape velocity.
    If they move near the speed of light they would get
    decelerated by leaving a star's high gravity.
    Gravity is escape velocity. Gravity leads to a slower
    cosmic wind.

    Mitch, you replied before finishing the video. I can tell. Because I've been watching it. To be a master scientist you have to be a master story teller. Frisch and Smith are just that. Now finish the video Mitch.
    The best part of the story in my opinion is the costume change when our two heroes descend like Moses from atop Mt. Washington to take up the second half of the video in Cambridge.

    The great fallacy of the video and the entire Frisch-Smith experiment is enunciated at 24:00 of the video.
    My two favorite parts of the relativity classic movie are right at the beginning with the dubbed howling wind on top of Mt. Washington; then the move down the mountain to Cambridge at 25:20. Supporting actors are good too--the graduate student with the
    goatee who reassembles the iron mass in Cambridge. Richard Hertz may want to look into the possibility that this graduate student had to spent some time on the producer's couch to get that part...just wondering.
    Another fallacious ingredient to the Frisch-Smith recipe is added to the mix at 28:00 of the video.

    Volney you foolish fool. My link is to none other than the kings of the muons of Mt. Washington: Frisch and Smith! You have heard of them, right? That's YOUR TEAM in action. Dirk first brought my attention to this classic of classic relativity films

    Cosmic muons get accelerated to near light speed by what?
    and what would give them a preferred direction?
    Why do solar prominences fall back?
    The muon would slow down by leaving its star gravity.
    Mouns are subject to high gravity strength star escape velocity.
    If they move near the speed of light they would get
    decelerated by leaving a star's high gravity.
    Gravity is escape velocity. Gravity leads to a slower
    cosmic wind.
    Mitch, you replied before finishing the video. I can tell. Because I've been watching it. To be a master scientist you have to be a master story teller. Frisch and Smith are just that. Now finish the video Mitch.
    The best part of the story in my opinion is the costume change when our two heroes descend like Moses from atop Mt. Washington to take up the second half of the video in Cambridge.
    The great fallacy of the video and the entire Frisch-Smith experiment is enunciated at 24:00 of the video.
    Yes, the assumption that laboratory muons would behave like cosmic ones.

    Not quite, Laurence. But you are on the right track.

    According to Frisch and Smith's own calculations, all of the muons that stop in their scintillator on the summit where created from cosmic rays (here's the important part) only 1,000 to 6,000 ft above their mountain top lab. What about all the muons
    created in the atmosphere between the top of Mt. Washington (6,000 ft) and Cambridge (sea level )??? Those are eat muons they are stoping in their scintillator at Cambridge. They fallaciously assume that ALL muon production occurs at in on band of
    atmosphere 12,000 ft above sea level. Is this sophistry on their part to try and win a Nobel? Or are they just that dumb?

    Also, they don't get a control count of the muons that don't stop in the scintillator, even though they could have. Because they showed that they could detect them in the early part of the video. It is those muons, created perhaps just above the summit
    and therefore too energetic to be stopped, that they are detecting down at Cambridge. Only a fool would conclude otherwise.

    A criminal tells a story to and investigating detective which is always plausible. It is the detective's job to suss out the inconsistencies and arrive at the truth. The same applies to gov'mint funded scientists and the general public.

    And if they did, why haven't we seen the laboratory muons travel
    the same 16000 meters as their cosmic counter parts? And if they travelled 16000 meters distance in their life span of 2 microseconds, what would be their speed?

    You too Legion.
    Frisch (apparently no relation to Otto) got his first taste of glory, albeit reflected glory, whilst working on the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos. Frisch learned the lesson that scientific glory in the mid 20th century lie on the path of Relativity.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_H._Frisch

    Frisch immediately set out to fight his way to the top of the relativistic rat pack. He found the acme of his glory in the 35 minute 1963 relativity thriller "The Muons of Mt. Washington"

    Frisch's co-star, the bowtie-wearing Prof. James H. Smith, didn't even rate a wiki page. Here's his 2008 obit in which he is still wearing that damned clip-on bowtie

    https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/news-gazette/name/james-smith-obituary?id=29108291

    I wonder if these two tricksters ever scrupled at the millions of young men like Dono, Dirk and the others in this forum whom they condemned to a lifetime of relativistic darkness with their fabricated chicanery. I at least, was able to penetrate their
    dark veil that obscured the truth, lo so many years now.

    I am indebted to Dirk who brought the film to my attention many years ago.

    You didn't even watch the film, did you Legion.

    Frisch and Smith state that they know with absolute certainty that their pet muons are traveling one thousand feet per usec. at between .990c and .995c. They know because...I forget why they know, but they do. That speed spectrum is the only window in
    which their iron pile and plastic scintillator will "catch" muons. Anything faster goes through the entire shebang. Anything slower is stopped by the goateed graduate student's pile of iron and doesn't reach the scintillator. If you don't like that
    Legion then take it up with Frisch and Smith.

    I'll pause here while you to absorb all this, before continuing.

    Right, the ones that decay in the scintillator are the ones that were moving that fast when they entered the calibrated stack of iron, and got slowed down to zero speed when reaching the scintillator. You were suggesting the "extra" mesons at sea level
    were just produced by cosmic rays between the mountain top and sea level, or else just above the mountain top with a higher speed that made them undetected, but both of those suggestions are utterly braindead, because (1) they explicitly point out that
    they accounted for the (very small) number of muons created betqween mountain top and sea level, which turns out to be negligibly small, and (2) the whole point is to filter out mesons outside that speed range.

    Again, the flux of primary cosmic rays (that produce the muons) is about 13 uSv/hr at 60,000 ft and 5 uSv/hr at 35000 ft, but only about 0.08 uSv/hr at 6000 ft, and about 0.03 uSv/hr at sea level, so the rate of muon production below 6000 feet is

    Legion, you are forgetting all the muons with velocities greater than .995c that pass through the scintillator and don't get caught there. Those were the single blips with no secondary "disintegration" blip within the 9 usec. o-scope scan window.

    Right, the ones that decay in the scintillator are the ones that were moving that fast when they entered the calibrated stack of iron, and got slowed down to zero speed when reaching the scintillator. You were suggesting the "extra" mesons at sea

    that they accounted for the (very small) number of muons created betqween mountain top and sea level, which turns out to be negligibly small, and (2) the whole point is to filter out mesons outside that speed range.

    Again, the flux of primary cosmic rays (that produce the muons) is about 13 uSv/hr at 60,000 ft and 5 uSv/hr at 35000 ft, but only about 0.08 uSv/hr at 6000 ft, and about 0.03 uSv/hr at sea level, so the rate of muon production below 6000 feet is
    negligible.
    Legion, you are forgetting all the muons with velocities greater than .995c that pass through the scintillator and don't get caught there. Those were the single blips with no secondary "disintegration" blip within the 9 usec. o-scope scan window. Smith
    dialed those blips off to the left of the o-scope screen, remember? It is those pass throughs--hundreds of times more of them than the catches--that show up at sea level in Cambridge.

    The fundamental particles in the atom get more energy by movement.
    Those particles remain the same but have different kinetic energies.
    There is no heavy electron just a fast moving one.

    No, those are not "forgotten". Sheesh. The depth of iron bars was re-calibrated at sea level to account for the effect of the atmosphere down to sea level, so that the mesons being slowed to zero at sea level are the same slice of the population that
    were at 0.995c and slowed to zero at the mountain top. In other words, the mesons that were filtered out at the mountain top were also filtered out at sea level. They were not "forgotten". I say again: Sheesh.

    Wait a minute. You are trying to argue against relativity but you don't even understand the basics of the cosmic muons? Are you that clueless?

    The muons from space are of a higher speed (gamma=10 if I recall). The lab muons are near stationary.
    Let's all reconvene on the subject after viewing this:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbzt8gDSYIM

    You too Legion.
    Frisch (apparently no relation to Otto) got his first taste of glory, albeit reflected glory, whilst working on the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos. Frisch learned the lesson that scientific glory in the mid 20th century lie on the path of Relativity.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_H._Frisch

    Frisch immediately set out to fight his way to the top of the relativistic rat pack. He found the acme of his glory in the 35 minute 1963 relativity thriller "The Muons of Mt. Washington"

    Frisch's co-star, the bowtie-wearing Prof. James H. Smith, didn't even rate a wiki page. Here's his 2008 obit in which he is still wearing that damned clip-on bowtie

    https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/news-gazette/name/james-smith-obituary?id=29108291

    I wonder if these two tricksters ever scrupled at the millions of young men like Dono, Dirk and the others in this forum whom they condemned to a lifetime of relativistic darkness with their fabricated chicanery. I at least, was able to penetrate their
    dark veil that obscured the truth, lo so many years now.

    I am indebted to Dirk who brought the film to my attention many years ago.
    1963 was when the relativists and astronomers joined forces.

    But the lab isn't at rest. If the Earth rotates.

    You and the toilet licker just don't get it, Roy. As Tom R. has pointed
    out several times, minor effects like from the earth's rotation, gravity
    and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle are so small that the muons are
    at rest to less than other uncertainties.

    While it's obvious that "laws of nature" invented

    From a forensic standpoint, the key to sussing out the grift in this meretricious experiment lies in the iron pile depth and the multi-layer cake scintillator depth. Viewers will recall that Smith and his menacing vial of optical oil begin the film
    feature by assembling the multi-layer scintillator. The precise control of these two variables is the legerdemain at the heart of the fraud. I will stake my valuable reputation as the discoverer of the BBP on the fact that the FSX will not produce
    consistent results when these two variables are allowed to wander.

    The experiment is meaningless as a piece of legitimate science UNLESS strict experimental controls are placed on the got-away muons.

    that they accounted for the (very small) number of muons created betqween mountain top and sea level, which turns out to be negligibly small, and (2) the whole point is to filter out mesons outside that speed range.

    You are forgetting all the muons with velocities greater than .995c that pass
    through the scintillator and don't get caught there.

    No, those are not "forgotten". Sheesh. The depth of iron bars was re-calibrated at sea level to account for the effect of the atmosphere down to sea level, so that the mesons being slowed to zero at sea level are the same slice of the population
    that were at 0.995c and slowed to zero at the mountain top. In other words, the mesons that were filtered out at the mountain top were also filtered out at sea level. They were not "forgotten". I say again: Sheesh.


    The iron depth recalibration for sea level is obviously wrong.
    The word "obviously" doesn't belong in physics.

    Neither do words "word", "belong", "physics", stupid Mike.

    No, that's based on knowledge of how passage through iron and air affects the energy of the particles. If you're interested in that aspect of the phenomena, go ahead and study it.

    honest experimentalists would add iron on top of Mt. Washington to
    where there are no more "got-aways".

    Huh? That makes no sense at all. The objective is to examine time dilation, which depends on velocity, so we need to select particles with a particular velocity (energy), and then examine this same population at sea level, which requires compensating
    for the slowing of the air mass, i.e., it requires us not to be ignorant of this aspect of particle behavior.

    [The experimenters] probably tinkered with the iron pile for months trying to get
    their numbers right...

    That's doesn't make any sense. They state specifically how much they change the iron layers to compensate for the 6000 ft of air, based on knowledge of how passage through iron and air affect the energies of those particles. This presented in plain
    daylight for any knowledgeable person to check. My goodness, you objection comes down to "the bastards probably falsified the results".

    And as is the case with Eddington an his bent starlight, so too with the FSX:
    no one has ever been able to duplicate their results.

    Both of those assertions are blatantly false. In particular, duplicating the Frisch ex is a undergraduate lab exercise. Basing your belief system on lies is not a good idea.

    I think this comment is precisely to the point because if it was not photons that were claimed to time dilate but time itself. If photons dilated, they would arrive late, just as the astronaut twin arrived only after the Earth twin had grown old.

    Your Lordships allow me to draw this forum's attention to Figures 6a) and 6b) of the Frisch-Smith paper

    https://d1b10bmlvqabco.cloudfront.net/attach/j6wg9vo05d118z/hjzs14rvhz419k/j7jdyxbbpuwu/AJPpaperMuMesons.pdf

    Even the most naive and unstudied mind will conclude after only a few moments reflection that the data displayed in said figures is perfectly consistent with a non-relativistic explanation.

    1) On the right side of Figure 6a we find that 350 out of 568 muons disintegrated in less than the published 2.2 usecs. muon half-life.

    2) According to F&S these muons are traveling at 1,000 ft per usec.

    3) This means that with a 2.2 usec half-life, and assuming no relativistic time dilation, the average height above the summit of Mt. WA at which these muons were born was no more than 2,200 ft. (8,200 ft above sea level). Also recall that Legion has
    assured this forum that the gamma ray flux 2200 ft above the summit is about 0.08 uSv/hr.

    4) muons born above 8,200 ft do not on average live long enough to reach the FS scintillator.

    5) muons born between 8,200 ft. and the summit are still too young and energetic to be stopped by the scintillator. These muons are the pass-throughs that the unscrupulous Smith dials off the O-scope screen to the left. There are hundreds of them!

    6) Let us consider the rest of the Legion evidence, wherein he claims that the cosmic ray flux at sea level is 0.03 uSv/hr. According to the non-relativistic explanation, the muons that stop in the sea level scintillator will have also formed no more
    that 2200 feet above sea level. Linear regression on Legion's two data points give a value of about 0.05 uSv/hr cosmic ray flux at 2200 ft above sea level.

    7) The ratio of cosmic ray flux is 2,200 ft./8,000 ft. = 0.05/0.08 = 0.63. This agrees very nicely, to a first order, with the Frisch-Smith muon ratio of 408/563 = .72

    Most first time readers of the FSX are overwhelmed by the huge number of moving parts of this experiment. This is by design. But there are never enough moving parts to overwhelm the discoverer of the BBP.

    elapsed proper time the expected number of survivors would be about 27, whereas if the proper time of the muons at that speed is 0.7 usecs (which is the predicted relativistic proper time at that speed) the expected number would be about 412. The

    the average height above the summit of Mt. WA at which these muons

    Nope, almost all were created much higher. The density of muons in the narry speed/energy range around 0.995 (before entering the iron layers) at the mountain top is what's measured at the mountain top, with that specific depth of iron. As always, your

    Huh? What's shown on the right side of that figure is the expected number of surviving muons after a noted amount of proper time, given that they have a proper half-life of 2.2 usecs. The elapsed coordinate time is 6.4 usecs, so if that was also the
    elapsed proper time the expected number of survivors would be about 27, whereas if the proper time of the muons at that speed is 0.7 usecs (which is the predicted relativistic proper time at that speed) the expected number would be about 412. The
    measured number is 412. Now do you understand?

    the average height above the summit of Mt. WA at which these muons
    were born was no more than 2,200 ft.

    Nope, almost all were created much higher.

    You assume the conclusion here.

    Not at all. First, the precise altitude of creation is not relevant to the demonstration, and second, for your information, the density of cosmic rays is a measured fact, from which it follows that the great majority of muons (of all energies) are
    created at higher altitudes. Again, the precise altitude of creation doesn't matter, since the only thing that must be taking into account for this experiment is the creation rate below the mountain top, which happens to be very low. Nothing about
    these measured facts is "assuming the conclusion". Sheesh. Again, the density of muons in the narrow speed/energy range around 0.995 (before entering the iron layers) at the mountain top is what's measured at the mountain top, with that specific depth
    of iron.

    Most first time readers of the FSX are overwhelmed by the huge number
    of moving parts of this experiment.

    Huh? This is an extremely simple demonstration, performed with very simple equipment.

    See [unrelated specious reasoning] above.

    Your specious reasoning above has nothing to do with your silly claim that this is a complex experiment with highly complicated apparatus. Again, it is an extremely simple demonstration with very simple equipment. This is even done as undergraduate lab
    assignments.

    Right, the ones that decay in the scintillator are the ones that were moving that fast when they entered the calibrated stack of iron, and got slowed down to zero speed when reaching the scintillator. You were suggesting the "extra"
    mesons at sea level were just produced by cosmic rays between the mountain top and sea level, or else just above the mountain top with a higher speed that made them undetected, but both of those suggestions are utterly braindead, because (1) they
    explicitly point out that they accounted for the (very small) number of muons created betqween mountain top and sea level, which turns out to be negligibly small, and (2) the whole point is to filter out mesons outside that speed range.

    You are forgetting all the muons with velocities greater than .995c that pass
    through the scintillator and don't get caught there.

    No, those are not "forgotten". Sheesh. The depth of iron bars was re-calibrated at sea level to account for the effect of the atmosphere down to sea level, so that the mesons being slowed to zero at sea level are the same slice of the
    population that were at 0.995c and slowed to zero at the mountain top. In other words, the mesons that were filtered out at the mountain top were also filtered out at sea level. They were not "forgotten". I say again: Sheesh.

    The iron depth recalibration for sea level is obviously wrong.

    No, that's based on knowledge of how passage through iron and air affects the energy of the particles. If you're interested in that aspect of the phenomena, go ahead and study it.

    honest experimentalists would add iron on top of Mt. Washington to where there are no more "got-aways".

    Huh? That makes no sense at all. The objective is to examine time dilation, which depends on velocity, so we need to select particles with a particular velocity (energy), and then examine this same population at sea level, which requires
    compensating for the slowing of the air mass, i.e., it requires us not to be ignorant of this aspect of particle behavior.

    [The experimenters] probably tinkered with the iron pile for months trying to get
    their numbers right...

    That's doesn't make any sense. They state specifically how much they change the iron layers to compensate for the 6000 ft of air, based on knowledge of how passage through iron and air affect the energies of those particles. This presented in
    plain daylight for any knowledgeable person to check. My goodness, you objection comes down to "the bastards probably falsified the results".

    And as is the case with Eddington an his bent starlight, so too with the FSX:
    no one has ever been able to duplicate their results.

    Both of those assertions are blatantly false. In particular, duplicating the Frisch ex is a undergraduate lab exercise. Basing your belief system on lies is not a good idea.

    I can of course go into finer detail; perhaps even extract a perfect Gaussian half-life curve which is already adumbrated by FSX data set. But I will pause at this point to ask the jury who has the better and more reasonable explanation for the Muons of
    Mt. Washington. Myself? Or Legion?

    Bullshit. Your idiot guru has defined time as
    "what clocks indicate", and his description of
    his "time dilation" idiocy had nothing to do
    with any particles.
    Relativity needs time itself to dilate, not just muons, lithium ions, or photons. So you are exactly right.
    Relativity needs us ("we're FORCED!!!! The BEST WAY!!!")
    to stop synchronizing our clocks - for the sake of
    a mad vision of some idiots believing that it's
    somehow "proper".
    They need time dilation to keep light speed allegedly at c but they can't prove time dilation.

    Oh, but they can. They derive it directly from the
    Holy Postulates.

    I can of course go into finer detail; perhaps even extract a perfect Gaussian half-life curve which is already adumbrated by FSX data set.
    But I will pause at this point to ask the jury who has the better and
    more reasonable explanation for the Muons of Mt. Washington. Myself?
    Or Legion?
    No context. Bill knows what he is talking about. You don't.

    Let me rephrase my question. I don't why I even bother consider what relativity rookie Legion may think.

    Who explains the Muons of Mt. Washing better? Frisch and Smith or me?

    The exposition of Frisch and Smith is fine. You haven't provided an explanation, you've just typed some juvenile self-indulgent nonsense that has been thoroughly debunked and corrected. And now you abandon all pretense to rational discussion, and

    Case far from closed, Legion. Debunking the FSX has been on my to-do list for a long time now. You will recall how I destroyed it conceptually and theoretically using your own four-event methodology.

    Now it is time to destroy the empirical case for the Muons of Mt. Washington. I have already limned out their destruction by the kind permission Laurence on this thread. It is time to devote an entire thread to the issue.

    Let S and S' denote standard inertial coordinate systems in which the lab and the muon in flight are at rest, respectively. Four relevant events (among infinitely many) that you might be interested in are the muon's creation event e1, the lab event e2
    simultaneous with e1 in terms of S, the lab event e3 simultaneous with e1 in terms of S', and the collision event e4. In terms of S the height of the muon at creation is D = (2.2)(vg) where g = 1/sqrt(1-v^2). This is the magnitude of the interval from e1
    to e2.

    1) What did the muon calculate its proper altitude above the earth to be at the spacetime event corresponding to its creation?

    Muon's do not calculate things, and even if they did, it would be irrelevant. In terms of S', the spatial distance between the muon and the lab at the time of the muon's creation is D/g. This is the magnitude of the interval from e1 to e3.

    2) What did the scientists in the scintillator lab calculate the muon's altitude to be at the spacetime event corresponding to the muon's creation?

    As noted above, in terms of S, the altitude of the muon's creation event is D, which, in your example is 2.2(vg) light microseconds.

    3) What did the lab scientist read on the scintillator lab's clock at the spacetime event corresponding to the muon's creation?

    In terms of S, the lab clock read -D/v at event e2. Of course, it reads -D/(vg^2) at event e3. The elapsed proper time in the lab between e2 and e3 is Dv.

    By the way, based on your confusion over the Frisch experiment, I suspect one of your underlying problems is you don't understand what is the proper half-life of an existing muon that was created, say, 5 usec ago. This is probably why you are confused
    about when the muons "must have been created" in the Frisch experiment. It's amazing the number of ways a newbie can misunderstand things, things that rational educated adults take for granted. I blame our education system.

    Thank you Legion, for re-stating your four-event muon methodology for this forum. It's a good jumping of point for me to re-devastate it. I note you have left my side of the discussion out of your recapitulation. But I am delighted to dazzle the
    denizens of this forum yet one more time and provide it again. This will delay my FSX analysis of the empirical muon data. I may combine both the theoretical and empirical criticisms into another a multi-chapter essay.

    patdolan demonstrates that he has no idea of what half-time is.
    And I am NOT referring to the fact that the mean lifetime is 2.2 μs
    while the half-time is 1.52 μs.

    If a muon is stopped in the scintillator, then it is
    50% probable that it will not have decayed 1.52 μs after
    it was stopped, and 36.8% probable that it will not have
    decayed 2.2 μs after it was stopped.
    The time between the muon's creation and the stop event is
    unknown and impossible to measure.

    If "A muon simultaneously comes to rest and disintegrates
    in a laboratory scintillator"
    .. then its life time (decay time) is measured to be zero.
    (which is not impossible but has zero probability).

    patdolan has also demonstrated that he haven't understood
    why Frisch and Smith measured the muon flux at two different
    altitudes.

    velocity relative to the earth [sic] was measured to be [v=]0.867c which results in g = 2. The muon's clock showed an elapsed proper time of 2.2 microseconds between the spacetime event corresponding to its creation and the spacetime event corresponding
    to its disintegration in the lab scintillator.
    patdolan demonstrates that he has no idea of what half-time is.
    And I am NOT referring to the fact that the mean lifetime is 2.2 μs
    while the half-time is 1.52 μs.

    If a muon is stopped in the scintillator, then it is
    50% probable that it will not have decayed 1.52 μs after
    it was stopped, and 36.8% probable that it will not have
    decayed 2.2 μs after it was stopped.
    The time between the muon's creation and the stop event is
    unknown and impossible to measure.

    If "A muon simultaneously comes to rest and disintegrates
    in a laboratory scintillator"
    .. then its life time (decay time) is measured to be zero.
    (which is not impossible but has zero probability).

    patdolan has also demonstrated that he haven't understood
    why Frisch and Smith measured the muon flux at two different
    altitudes.

    patdolan admits he has improperly mixed his nomenclature and will remedy it in his Muon University series. But the basic thrust of patdolan's ideas dismantling the FSX are unassailable. The reader will be absolutely thrilled when patdolan takes on
    damnable Don Lincoln and his linear accelerator muons.
