Your alarm clock measures time by the oscillations of a wheel, which depend on the inertia of the wheel. Do you understand "the reality of that inertia"? Brent You'd be in a much better position to defend Clark if either of you could define the clock inherent in a muon, but you don't seem able to meet that challenge. AGI think John can take care of himself. If muon's don't have an inherent clock, how do they know when to decay? Brent You're assuming they have a clock, but avoid describing its form, or how it reads the time, if it reads the time. So many things assumed but no answers in sight. AG I suppose you were referring to the atmosphere producing an anti-inertial effect on the muons, but what's lacking is an explanation, or if you like MODEL, of how that effects the half-life of those particles.Do you have a model of how relativistic motion makes a wrist watch run slower? BrentIn the frame wherein you allege the wrist watch is running slower, it isn't. In some other frame, moving at constant velocity wrt that wrist watch, it appears to be running slower. Which watch should we pay attention to? AG
The one in the frame where the muons run slower. Brent -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
