when muons are created in the atmosphere and fall to Earth the Earth clock runs faster. Thus, the "slower" muon clock allows more of them to reach the Earth's surface. But from the muons' perspective, the Earth is moving towards the muon. Shouldn't the muon's clock run "faster" and there should be less muons when the Earth reaches them?
Both events should appear the same from the other' perspective. How does one resolve this?
