In Section 27.6 we explained that muons can reach the ground because of time dilation. But how do things appear in the muon’s reference frame, where the muon’s half-life is only 1.5 µs? How can a muon travel the 60 km to reach the earth’s surface before decaying? Resolve this apparent paradox. Be as quantitative as you can in your answer.
