Question

Muon experiments have provided strong evidence for the time dilation effect predicted by relativity. Muons, subatomic particles with a very short half-life, are created in the upper atmosphere and should decay before reaching Earth's surface due to their short lifetime. However, they are observed to reach the surface, indicating that time appears to pass more slowly for them due to their high velocity. This is consistent with the time dilation effect predicted by relativity.
