Which consequence results from accelerating muons approaching lightspeed in a synchrotron because their increased inertia warps spacetime?

A)Slower local passage of time
B)Increased rate of radioactive decay
C)Blue-shifting emitted radiation
D)Decreased total electric charge

💡 Explanation

Time dilation results because special and general relativity warp spacetime near relativistic speeds, therefore time for the fast-moving muon slows down relative to a stationary observer, rather than an increase in radioactive decay which is unrelated.
