Relativistic Time Dilation in Muon Decay
Wolfram Demonstrations Project · 2008
According to Einsteins special theory of relativity a clock moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light with respect to an observer runs more slowly than the observers own clock This implies that time must be flowing more slowly in a moving frame of reference which is referred to as time dilation If a process such as the decay of an unstable particle occurs with an average lifetime of i
