-Lesson about how particles can travel greater distances as they approach the speed of light since time happens slower for them. -Flight length of particles (tau - mean lifetime of particle before it decays, beta - percentage of the speed of light that the particle is traveling, gamma - one over the square root of (1-beta) squared)
