Homework Statement
The flux of cosmic-ray induced muons is about 100 muons per square meter per second at sea level
on the Earth’s surface. Estimate (to within a factor of 3) the probability that a muon is passing
through your body this instant.
Homework Equations
This is supposed to be a special relativity problem. So, Lorenz transformations.
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not sure where to start, because I am missing something... I am not sure where special relativity comes into play, since the problem gives us the flux at sea level, and I am assuming my body is also at sea level.
I appreciate any help!
