Parhaps the muon time dilation hoax is even greater than the Sirius B hoax:

http://web.mit.edu/8.13/www/JLExperiments/JLExp14.pdf
"The idea of this experiment is, in effect, to compare the mean time from
the creation event to the decay event (i.e. the mean life) of muons at rest
with the mean time for muons in motion. Suppose that a given muon at rest
lasts for a time tb. Equation 5 predicts that its life in a reference frame
with respect to which it is moving with velocity v, is (gamma)tb, i.e.
greater than its rest life by the Lorentz factor gamma. This is the effect
called relativistic time dilation. (...) In this experiment you will observe
the radioactive decay of muons and measure their decay curve (distribution
in lifetime) after they have come to rest in a large block of plastic
scintillator, and determine their mean life. From your previous measurement
of the mean velocity of cosmic-ray muons at sea level and the known
variation with altitude of their flux, you can infer a lower limit on the
mean life of the muons in motion. A comparison of the inferred lower limit
with the measured mean life at rest provides a vivid demonstration of
relativistic time dilation."

Note that muons "at rest" in fact "come to rest in a large block of plastic
scintillator". Any time a muon bumps into an obstacle so that its speed
instantly changes from about 300000km/s to zero, its forced and quick
disintegration makes Einsteinians sing "Divine Einstein" and go into
convulsions. Why? Simply because rationality in today's science is so
devastated that, as the muon undergoes such a terrible crash, Einsteinians
can safely say 'Lo, a muon at rest' (nobody cares to contradict them) and
infer that non-crashing (moving) muons undergo time dilation and for that
reason live longer than crashing ("at rest") muons. Sane scientists would
compare the short lifetime of muons "at rest" with the short lifetime of a
driver whose car has come to a sudden stop into a wall:

"In order to measure the decay constant for a muon at rest (or the
corresponding mean-life) one must stop and detect a muon, wait for and
detect its decay products, and measure the time interval between capture and
decay."

Experiment 1: The lifetime of muons at rest (...) Some of these muons are
stopped within the plastic of the detector and the electronics are designed
to measure the time between their arrival and their subsequent decay."

================================================== =
Certainly muons have the greatest circularity.
Travelling from upper atmosphere to sea level (100,000 meters) in 64 usec
(speed = 5c), according to SR they cannot exceed c and so must be time
dilated which proves SR.
Actually Bailey, Borer et.al. failed elementary algebra.

100,000 meters which defines the edge of space is the altitude required for
SpaceShipOne to obtain the X-prize
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceShipOne

If the measured lifespan of the muon is 64 usec by stationary clocks as
claimed
and the measured distance by stationary rulers is 100,000 meters then the
measured speed of the muon exceeds c regardless of any fantastic 2.2 usec in
the muon's frame of reference.
