But pi0 is also "very penetrating" on the scale of its path length -- an atom is mostly empty space, and the pi0 does not interact with electrons other than via elastic scattering (which does no affect the pi0 or its lifetime). A small fraction of the pi0s created will interact with nearby nuclei; the vast majority decay with speed close to c. Note also that the measurements of the gammas are consistent with the SR kinematics of the pi0 decay. To attempt to model this with any sort of ballistic theory is EXTREMELY difficult, as the angle between the gammas (in the lab) varies strongly with the speed of the pi0 as it decays -- Galilean kinematics simply does not work.

An atom is mostly very strong electromagnetic field and photons are electromagnetic.

So that argument went down the drain. Doesn't matter. Physics is a matter of faith, isn't it?

His second postulate requires an aetherlike spatial reference frame, anyway. Henry Wilson... ........A relativist's IQ = his snipping ability. |
