*IF* you *assume* a clock requires some internal structure.
*But instead of splitting hairs, how about a description of the

So you want to /*assume*/ that the muon can't keep time just by
moving thru spacetime, but requires some structure. Do you have a
proof or is this mere surmise?
*It's a surmise, not a mere surmise, based on clocks I am familiar
with. You're the relativity expert. You teach the masses. What's your
concept of time keeping by a muon? AG*
*And if that clock shows no time dilation within the muon's frame
of reference, how would that FACT effect its half-life? AG*
I guess that would show that it wasn't /*the*/ clock that
determines the muon's decay.
*So what clock does it, if any? AG

*I don't know. But it must that something to do with the mass of the
muon, the electron, and neutrino and the coupling of the neutrino, muon,
and electron fields since a muon decays into and electron and a
anti-neutrino.
