I agree that clock’s operate at different rates as space vehicles and high speed aircraft approach the speed of light or are located at different gravitational levels, but that does not prove that time passes at different rates.
Would a faraway galaxy compute the time since the Big Bang as a time other than about 13.8 billion years? There are other logical explanations for muon’s longer life when traveling fast as compared to floating around a lab.

For example, if we knew exactly when the Big Bang occurred, the time since the Big Bang should be the same everywhere. This is simply not true, as a large number of observations have shown. Time doesn't pass at the same rate for particles moving near lightspeed, which have longer decay times than ones at rest. Time doesn't pass at the same rate for satellites orbitting the Earth every 12 hours as it does for people on the Earth. Time doesn't pass at the same rate aboard an aircraft flying around the Earth as it does on the Earth's surface. Time doesn't pass at the same rate at the top of a tower as it does at the bottom. These have all been measured.
