Well, well, Dirk. How much time do you need for this one

weak on me now. Finish the job and prove that I am wrong. Or am I?


Well, it looks like Dirk dropped out of class. Is there any other
physicist out there who is willing to help Dirk? Will you all drop
out? I would presume the silence reflects agreement with the
conclusion of this thread!

_____________________________________________________________

Which of the following is the wrong proposition?

PROP 1: Muons formed in the upper atmosphere have a rest life of
~2.26us.

PROP 2: Traveling at speed ~c, they cover 700m as measured in the muon
frame prior to disintegration after ~2.26us,

PROP 3: Which corresponds to 7000m in the Earth frame due to Lorentz
contraction, enabling them to reach the lower atmosphere.

PROP 4: In 2.26us in the earth frame, any particle with speed ~c, (such
as a photon, or a muon in this case) can only travel 700m as measured in
the Earth frame, and not reach the lower atmosphere.

PROP 5: Since the 2.26us in the muon REST frame is EXACTLY EQUAL
(barring the trivial effects of a gravitational field) to the 2.26us in
the earth REST frame, then we have a contradiction, since 700m is not
equal to 7000m.

Conclusion: If all the above is true, then -Special Relativity is
*ERRONEOUS*-.
