The claim is that the muon's half life is increased from its
measured value in the lab frame, to an extended value when
observed by a stationary observer seeing the muon in motion. But
how is the lab frame different from the rest frame in which the
muon is is observed as moving? They seem like the same frame. AG --
*You've confused yourself by not mentioning it's motion in the lab
frame, which is implicitly zero.* So it's comparing the half-life
in the muon's frame with the muon's half-life as it travels at
near light speed.
*How is sitting in a lab observing the muons fly by, different from
sitting atop a mountain watching them fly by? AG

*I wonder why I bother to write answers, when you don't even read the
first line.
