No idiot...the cosmic muon predicts that the lab muon decays at 2.2us/ gamma....this means that the lab muon has a shorter life time than the cosmic muon and that's why the lab muon can only travel a very short distance before decaying.

Yes, curvature in the sense of the curvature tensor is intrinsic, and for a cylinder, this curvature is *zero*. The cylinder is not curved, intrinsically. It is curved in the sense of topology (the technical term is that a cylinder is not "simply connected"). Contrast the case of a cylinder with the case of a sphere. The surface of a sphere *is* curved, and this manifests itself in geometry: If you draw a triangle on the surface of a sphere, and measure the angles, they will add up to greater than 180 degrees. For a flat 2D surface, the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. By this criterion, a cylinder is *not* curved. Triangles drawn on the surface of a cylinder will have angles that add up to exactly 180. -- Daryl McCullough Ithaca, NY

Its always 180 for a cylinder. The distinction between a cylinder and the surface of a sphere is this: You can cut a cylinder into a finite number of pieces, and each piece can be laid flat. In contrast, if you cut a sphere into pieces, the pieces will not be flat. You can't press them onto a flat surface without stretching or compressing. -- Daryl McCullough Ithaca, NY
