I tried this on the other physics groups but I got very little
feedback, perhaps because I didn't claim to refute relativity or use
the word "conspiracy". Some replies are 'no' but no explanation.
Let there be a group of particles P moving from right to left. They
are arranged in a single plane perpendicular to the X axis. The
particles are subject to decay.
Located at Xa along the axis of motion is a single-molecule thick
piece of film A which is sensitive to the particles. Also of course
oriented perpendicular to the X axis.
There is a second film B which is moving relative to A from left to
right and displaced so that they don't overlap.
B and P reach Xa at the same time WRT A, and the particle group is
wide enough to impact both films.
Since the speed relative to B is greater, is it correct that B will
detect more particles than A due to time dilation? (Fewer decay.)
If not, what is the mechanism?
Thanks
