Earth FoR:
Distance 60 miles, time 2.2 usec.
Speed of muon measured in Earth FoR, dx/dt = ?

Muon FoR:
Distance = (60 miles - v * 2.2usec)/ sqrt( 1 - v²/186000²)
Time = (2.2usec - v*60/186000²)/sqrt( 1 - v²/186000²)
Speed of Earth measured in Muon FoR, d(xi)/d(tau) = ?

You're the guy with 30 decimal places, what's the careful measurement ?
Come on, Ghost, surprise me, persuade me I'm wrong.
