... Because when radioactive particles (e.g. muons) are accelerated to a high speed, they decay slower than at rest and therefore travel further than they should before decay. From Earth frame of reference: time runs slowly for muon so it has time to reach ground before decaying From muon’s frame of ref ...

The Mystery of Matter: The Course
... Use of an electron beam, rather than a light beam, for microscopy allows to see much smaller (finer) details. Why is that? A particle that decays (or a fruit fly that dies) cannot have a sharp energy (or mass). Why is that? How much does it affect the weight of thy fruit fly? ...

Perfectly accurate clocks turn out to be impossible
... Perfectly accurate clocks turn out to be impossible Can the passage of time be measured precisely, always and everywhere? The answer will upset many watchmakers. A team of physicists from the universities of Warsaw and Nottingham have just shown that when we are dealing with very large accelerations ...
