| 3a. The muons cannot have come from outside the atmosphere

So what,
No physical proof you are following one muon
in it's complete lifetime.

| 3b. There are no physical processes with enough energy
| to create new muons on the way down from the top
| of the atmosphere.

So what,
No physical proof you are following one muon
in it's complete lifetime

|
| 3c. Any muons that *do* happen to collide with air molecules
| on the way down are lost from the total, since they
| decay upon collision.

So what,
No physical proof you are following one muon
in it's complete lifetime

| 3d. The angle of impact tells us the direction they came from.

So what,
No physical proof you are following one muon
in it's complete lifetime

No,
You are out on a physical-less limb,
and it can't hold your "physical proof" up
at all since again...
No physical proof you are following one muon
in it's complete lifetime exists in your "proof".

No,
You still have no physical proof at all that
the muon is the same muon at all.
You lack the physical proof completely.
All you have for physical proof is that muons exist in
different places.
