No, it will take 120 million years.
Right..
Nothing can orbit the earth at that speed. - But for the sake of discussion, let's say it orbited somewhere.
Good
First of all, since the muon is moving near the speed of light, it will have travelled much farther, during the same time. Every time the solar system travels 250km, the muon travels nearly 300,000km.
Correct, - but irrelevant.
This has NOTHING with the point to do.
The traveler is “carried” with the solar system with larger speed as the solar system >> and a witness, - this is the point.
The traveler (is in a difference time frame) and can in no way not agree how fast the solar system moves, - or how distances are. One of these factors must “bend”.
Sorry Hans, if you don't understand this, I have only cows to discuss such logic with, and they NEVER have their ears full of orthodox load of concrete. - Cows are always very open-minded.
You could say that, yes. However, the point is that the perspective of the muon has no influence on the solar system.
This is irrelevant, - and have nothing with the point to do.
When you move around the Earth in year 3011 with the fastest possible train or spacecraft , let say 10 km/s, - of course it do not affect the solar systems or bal bla bla bla.
The motion of a muon will off course also not affect the solar system.
Why mention such irrelevant nonsense?
I believe the only option you have is derailing and confusion a pretty’s simple discussion, you must have seen is lost, - right ?
Stick to the
point PLEASE.
We can make the discussion far more realistic if you prefer.
Let’s say you live at Mercury, - your clock ticks slower.
Therefore after 120 million years, let’s say yours clock have “lost” 1000 hours.
After 120 million years
I at the Earth and
you at Mercury have completed one orbit of the MW.
This means;
a.) either you must conclude that the orbit of the MW is shorter seen from Mercury as seen from the Earth perspective,
*** OR ***
b.) your speed (at Mercury)
around the MW is FASTER, simply because yours clock tick slower....
But Hans, - Never mind, - you know people can spend 17 years at Universities without even understanding this simple
point.
So if you don’t understand it too, - don’t worry this is very natural (for humans).
