I think there must be another explanation of why so many muons make it to the earth surface. It's not just muons! You need not just Special Relativity but General Relativity too whenever you use your GPS navigation to get to the grocery store. Because the GPS satellites are moving fast Special Relativity says the atomic clocks on the satellites will fall BEHIND clocks on the ground by 7 microseconds per day; but General relativity says that because those satellites are further from the Earth's core than you are and thus in a shallower gravity well the atomic clocks on the satellites will gain on the clocks on the ground by 45 microseconds per day. So when viewed from the surface of the Earth the clocks in the satellites are ticking faster by 38 microseconds (45-7=38). Without correcting for relativity, both Special and General, the error in GPS would grow by about 6 miles PER DAY and GPS would be utterly useless. > I was actually pretty good in high school algebra.
