Investigating Relativistic Lifetimes

      
Now that you have studied the lifetimes of particles, consider the effect if these particles have relativistic speeds and energies. How does time dilation or length contraction affect how we observe those lifetimes? Can we obtain data to actually measure the relativistic lifetimes of particles?
