So, why do busy muons live longer than those that retire from the
rat-race?

BTW... Einstein wanted to exclude pendulum clocks from his
1905 paper because they use the system they are
responding to as an intrinsic component.

By the same standards, the muon is disqualified
as a time standard.

The coherence length of your postings approaches zero.

Muons do NOT oscillate up and down along a path, exchanging KE with PE as
do pendulum. Pendulum periods depend on the length of the pendulum and the
strength of gravity at the particular location.

Although muons are expected to be influenced by Sagnac effect, by the
strength of the swartzchild metric, and by their relativistic velocity,
this is no more than can be said of ANY clock.

Muons are only part of the system being studied in the same way that any
part of reality is part of reality.

You have yet to show ANY _relevant_ quote that would exclude clocks other
than light clocks from relativistic effects.
