- Radioactive Muons Formed High In The Atmosphere Have An Average Lifetime Of 2 Millionths Of A Second And Travel Toward E 1 (32.23 KiB) Viewed 44 times
Radioactive muons formed high in the atmosphere have an average lifetime of 2 millionths of a second and travel toward Earth at nearly the speed of light. Because of their altitude most of them should have decayed by the time they reach the Earth's surface, according to pre-relativity physics. They don't because they Othey have a very low temperature and are frozen. O live longer due to time dilation and travel a shorter distance due to length contraction. water vapor scatters them Othey are lifted by the air
