How thick is the atmosphere in the rest frame of a high-energy muon?
Homework Statement a muon(mass 106 MeV/c^2)is produced in the upper atmosphere with an energy of 10000MeV. The Earth's atmosphere is 100km thick.In the rest frame of the muon, how thick is the atmosphere?Homework Equations E^2=P^2c^2+m^2c^4(I don't know what equation to put here. I think I...- nn542

Undergrad Time dilation and lorentz transformation
i have a quick question, that is according to the lorentz transformation, the moving frame will have the longer time than the frame in the rest. so is that means if I'm on a moving car for my whole life, my time will greater than those who are in the rest relative to the earth?- nn542
