That's just flat wrong, Ken. It might help if you asked for a ride to
the university library where you might read up more on experimental
literature, rather than relying on a freshman physics textbook and the
one chapter it has on relativity.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is erroneous.  The cosmic muon half life is
20us as measured CO-INERTIALLY in the frame of the muon and in the
frame of the earth.  There is no time dilation.  Physicists have
measured a subpopulation of muons with a life of 2us and believe
erroneously that they were measuring the mean, when in fact they were
far below the mean.

Well done, Strich9. Nothing like demonstrating EXPLICITLY that you
have no idea what you're talking about. Try a book. Look up half-life.
Look for a pretty picture that shows what the distribution looks like.
Idiot.
Self-immolating idiot.
Proud-of-it, self-immolating idiot.

Masochist PD uses his favorite 'self-immolation' word, which means I
struck a nerve once more.  Note he has no refutation for my argument,
as usual.

Oh, dear. How amusing.
For beginners, even if they've set themselves on fire:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_decay

 Physicists have been measuring the low end of the muon half-
life and erroneously believ this to be the mean.  Like almost
everything else, muon half-lives follow a Gaussian distribution.
Taking a sample out of the left tail of the distribution gives an
erroneous average that is not reflective of the whole.

It is like a Martian measuring the heights of pygmies and concluding
that earthmen are 4 feet tall, and that the 6 feet earth astronaut who
reached Mars was dilated by the space-travel.  Curious isn't it?- Hide quoted text -

Another example of a physicist having NO CLUE in statistics.  Half-
life measurements of ANY particle will follow a Gaussian curve.  What
you have shown, Nitwit, is an exponential decay curve.  It is a graph
of what percent of a decaying substance remains over time.  It does
not plot the number of particles corresponding to a specific life span
duration.

Pardon me, but you have a little bit of spittle hanging down from the
corner of your mouth. I'm sure your clown hankie will serve to clean
up.

Good observation.  Don't forget you're looking at your mirror :-)

Ah, the "I know you are but what am I?" tactic! Well done!
Do something else worthy of an IQ of 200.

Here it is.  And unfortunately, the minimum IQ requirement is 120.

Diagram illustrating the muon life time average being measured in the
laboratory, as compared to the actual muon population.  Note that both
the small subset, and the actual population, follow a Gaussian
distribution, though their means do not coincide.  It is like
measuring a pygmy population.  Their heights still follow a Gaussian
distribution, but the mean is not reflective of the mean human height
(which itself follows a Gaussian distribution).

Undisputed...  As usual...

I'd much rather have you believe that you are right. You're much more
entertaining that way.

I also like watching you beg for attention, using 3rd grade dares.
