Scrutinizing Muons Decay Theory

Rongqing Dai Abstract The existing theory concerning the decay of the muon has been established based on the Lorentz time dilation and length contraction assumption. The notion of the so-called proper lifetime of muons or the lifetime of the so-called muons at rest has played a critical role in the study of the decay of...

The Meaning of Action

Rongqing Dai Abstract For the past hundred plus years, modern physicists have been building the edifice of theoretical physics with complex mathematical representations of “action”, but have never satisfactorily answered the question what the action really is. By bringing “action”, the fundamental building block in the modern physics, back to the classical context, we could...
