I think I had a dopey fantasmogaric reason at the time and it was
limitation of speed of computation.

The idea was that even if nothing came through the screen,
the local space time with all those high intensity beams crossing
would become computationally intensive for a
universe to run as a simulation, and it would have to slow down the
muon time to effectively borrow CPU time to process the events
behind the screen. So even if no fields had crossed the
screen, time dilation would be experienced by the muon.

It's worse than that for the OP. The darlings of muonic atoms (not
muonium) are *heavy* muonic atoms. The ground state for those muon
orbits is *inside* the nucleus. Is that enough electric field,
incoming and final? No out of theory observations are recorded.

The OP's contentions are bolstered by his ignorance. If he visited
arxiv or googled the topic he's eat his own anus before returning his
head to his colon.

Darwin, I'm referring to the paper which claims to contain these
calculations and there is nice table with comparison of this theory
with experiment for ten different elements and it looks surprisingly
good.
The question is if these results were properly verified?
These papers were published in quite a good journal (General
Relativity and Gravitation), so I believe reviewers checked earlier
this controversial result (?)
The question is - why there are practically no comments about these
papers?
I'm trying to contact the author to ask if there were some concrete
counterarguments.

But are they really so surprising?
Standard picture says that electromagnetism is Lorentz invariant
because of Maxwell equations, while gravitation requires intrinsic
curvature for that ... but this invariance could be just achieved by
using second set of Maxwell's equations - with mass density instead of
charge density and so on ...
.... and there are very popular unification theories with suggest that
these interactions aren't so qualitatively different ...
Remember that general relativity was experimentally confirmed only up
to the first approximation - gravitation, time dilation, Mercury
precession, redshift, gravitational lensing ... can we be sure how it
looks in higher approximations?

7, it's for completely different discussion, but probably Aharonov-
Bohm effect should interest You.
Uncle Al, I see that You have full knowledge about the universe, but
we don't - please be more specific with Your ultimately wise
scientific arguments.

One can find a solution to the EFE's here that is both
a simplification of curvature and includes electrostatic
effects that result in gravity, in Eq.(4),(it's 2 pages),
http://physics.trak4.com/GR_Charge_Couple.pdf

That's a unified field theory of GR and electricity within
the framework of conventional GR and electricity.
The simplified curvature results from the "a.b" in Eq.(4)
that is in units of action such as Plancks "h == a.b"

But you neither derive the 'solution' nor show that it is a solution, Ken.

Yeah Ken, I'm sure you are going to revolutionize physics with "a.b"...
