Replace the twins in the twin experiment by identical radioactive samples containing the same starting number of atoms. One (A) stays on Earth while the other (B) makes a round trip at high speed. When back the traveling sample is more radioactive because its half-life has been dilated, which means that the numbers of radioactive atoms in the two samples are no longer the same ( ). This result (confirmed previously in this forum) is expected because it is equivalent to that of the twin experiment in which the traveling twin returns younger than is brother. By writing the disintegration law, for the traveling sample
and for the sample at rest on earth
According to the result of the twins' experiment
and according to the result of the muon half-life
this gives contrary to what has been announced. Thank you in advance for pointing out my mistake!
