How do you know what particle is moving?
The malfunction I am talking about is "time keeping"
just because a particle decays slower because it is moving fast
has nothing to do with time slowing. It has to do with a particle
collecting more energy to keep doing it's normal job longer.
(a ball in space orbit spins longer than a ball on earth)
so the observed ball will "live longer" being in orbit.
It has nothing to do with time slowing.
Sheesh
Basic old fashion physics there and nothing more.
and not one bit of "time changing occuring for such to happen.

You are making unwarranted assumptions about the conditions
of the particles and balls. If a ball spins longer in
vacuum and without the need for bearings (because it is
weightless in free-fall) then this is one thing, and quite
measurable and characterizable. But elementary particles are
essentially *always* in vacuum and free fall no matter what
their environment; they are vastly smaller than the air molecules
around them and move without restraint or collision for very
long times and distances.

Muons created in the upper atmosphere by the incidence of
high energy radiation on atmospheric molecules make it
all the way to ground level without colliding with anything
on the way.
