本题详细解析:
Muons have a very short lifetime to reach the earth's surface from the upper atmosphere. But they are abundant on the Earth’s surface. This observation can be explained in two ways: Due to time dilation, from the perspective of muons, time passes more slowly, allowing them to cover more distance during their short lifetime. Alternatively, due to length contraction, the distance that muons need to travel to reach the Earth appears shorter from their perspective.
