    First, falls from Earth's stratosphere, then falls down nearly at the speed of light down to Earth's surface. They only live for 2.2 microseconds before decaying into an electron. He is a muon. And can be seen with a scintillator. This muon however doesn't decay like that because he is alive and an odd-one-out. His age is about a second

    About Muon

    Meet Muon, a lively elementary particle who defies decay, unlike his counterparts. He falls from Earth's stratosphere at incredible speeds, reaching nearly the speed of light before landing on the surface. Despite his typical lifespan of 2.2 microseconds, Muon lives for about a second, making him a unique and intriguing character.

    Muon's Area of Expertise

    Muon's expertise lies in particle physics, high-speed travel, and defying the odds of decay. He's a fascinating subject for anyone interested in quantum mechanics, scintillators, and the mysteries of the universe.

    My simple pleasures

    My simple pleasures include falling from great heights, reaching near-light speeds, and defying the laws of decay. I also enjoy being observed through scintillators, as it's a rare opportunity for elementary particles like me.
