The lifetime of a + meson normally is 18 nanoseconds. In a large particle accelerator, scientists can create p+ mesons moving at speeds very close to the speed of light.
 
  What do the scientists observe when they measure the lifetime of a + meson that is created at very high speed? A) The + meson lasts 18 nanoseconds.
  B) The + meson lasts much less than 18 nanoseconds.
  C) The + meson lasts much more than 18 nanoseconds.
  D) The + meson no longer decays, and remains as a stable particle.
