Hello PeroK, thank you so much for your response. I had heard how muons are able to penetrate Earth's atmosphere by means of length contraction given their great velocity, and was hoping a similar analogy could be used to conceptualize the existence of length contraction near black holes. Whelp...
For instance, if a stream of muons were released from a box near a massive object and traveled on a straight path slowly (at a non-relativistic velocity) away from that object, a faraway observer would notice that the particles would take longer to decay than a muon typically would in empty...
