Carl, the first point that I was and am making is that Einstein DID believe that his relativity predictions were correct and actual occurrences, as shown by his chapter which I referenced. You said otherwise, and that the rest of the physics world were misinterpreting him.The second point is about muons. You brought up the subject of muons, I merely proposed a different answer to yours. I do know about Bremsstrahlung radiation and muon decay, but did not bring them into the discussion, because for the purposes of this discussion, they are irrelevant. The discussion was about the muons BEFORE they decay, not as they decay. Muons do stop in the iron block, that is what it is there for - to stop the slow ones and only pass the ones with the required speed or above (you still have not answered my question or given me a reference as to how the muon speed is measured before it enters the iron block). They may well decay after they have stopped, but as I said, that is irrelevant.This may surprise you, but I do agree with you about the viewpoint of  the scientist on Siri or the muon, but that is not what we are discussing here.Please answer my point about mass increase, and the (supposed) fact that it stops any material body reaching or exceeding the speed of light (and comment on my rocket), and so proving that Einstein thought his relativity effects were real.
