I'd be delighted if you could cite a reference of a measurement (not one of your animated GIFs explaining how you think it works) wherein photons and muons are created at a common starting point at the same time, and muons arrive at a finishing point before the photons do. > All that bullshit about a stack of hodometers is mixed well > with road apples so that Phuckwit Duck can say they are > different.
