<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Maybe you did not understand the point of my
Paper. I did what you ask, of providing BOTH the "Earth perspective" AND
the "Muon perspective" regarding time and distance. I pointed out several
times that those two viewpoints are different by around a factor of one
hundred.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But more importantly, even though the very high
speed Muon SEES us as "very slow moving pancakes", we are not at all like
that in "reality". I happen to be six feet tall, and NOT
</FONT> <FONT size=2 face=Arial>3/4 inch tall as that high speed Muon
would see me. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>And the "truth" going the other direction is the
same, that WE do NOT "see" the high speed Muon accurately.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The important core idea here is that, for both us
Earther's and the Muon scientist, we "PERCEIVE" characteristics, which are NOT
related to "reality". Actually, my past fifteen years of Researching
Special Relativity hhas found that this situation is ALWAYS the case.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>My Paper then discusses YOU in your backyard with a
giant telescope and a cousin of yours on the planet Siri who owns an
identical telescope. We have learned that Earth and Siri are traveling
(radially) apart at 0.6 c.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So all Earth scientists agree that they (you) would
see the Siri scientist APPEAR to be moving and aging at 4/5 the rate
you might otherwise expect (by YOUR clock) due to Time Dilation of Special
Relativity. But he looks at you and sees that YOU SEEM TO BE movingn and
aging at 4/5 as fast as he would expect (per his clock). You BOTH THINK
you see "time dilation" of the other. You BOTH THINK you are
moving and aging much faster than the other guy. But the REALITY is
that NEITHER OF YOU is actuallly EXPERIENCING such effects. Your life is
not affected at all just because a distant guy aims a telescope at you, and his
life is not affected either.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The Muons just happen to be a really handy example
where we can see that NONE of the Special Relativity "effects" are actually
"real". In both directions, they are only "perceptions" (from both
sides, whether with Muons or Siri)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>This is a HUGE consequence. "Time Travel",
which eveyone seems to want to believe in, is absolutely impossible. So
are the Wormholes of Kip Thorne (for which he got a Nobel Prize). Things
like the "Twins Paradox" is NOT a "paradox" at all, but we must look at both
sides of the experience to see the "reality" of wwhat is involved.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>In a way, Speciall Relativity IS "real" since
Researchers such as me have witnessed it (in doing experimennts where I have
monitored the rate at which a nuclear process has occurred.) </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>And it certainly LOOKS REAL regardinng how Muons
manage to get 50 miles down through our atmosphere, when we know that (in OUR
perspective) they cannot.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But a "Muon reality" is actually pretty
simple. They look down and SEE that the Earth's atmosphere is half a mile
thick, with a "pancake laboratory" below it, filled with "pancake
humans". NO logical issues there. The Muon travels downward at
essentially c (actually, 0.9954c) and easily gets through the entire
atmosphere. No logical issues there. The Muon scientist SEES NOTHING
unexpected. He lives a mundane life. It is only OUR PERCEPTION of
the Muon existence which requires US Earther's to need to apply Special
Relativity and Time Dilation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Neither of the two environments has any weird
stuff, EXCEPT when they try to understand the other. The "very very slow
moving pancake Earther's" definnitely need to apply several aspects of Lorentz
and SR, in an effort to understand the environment of very high speed
Muons. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>If WE obtained a "Muon textbook" (which would be
perfectly logical to a Muon) we would not understand much of it. We WOULD
see that "fastest velocity is c", which we agree with. Other than that, I
think we NEED to examine those two "Earth pespective" and "Muon perspective"
that I try to present.</FONT></DIV>
