11. De Broglie wave

We can also interpret the De Broglie associated wave with a time speed wave that accompany a particle in motion(11.a). It is understood that to get the relativity effect, the particle has to "ride" this wave, sitting in the front lower time speed part of the wave(11.b). This way, it's clock does beat slower, and the the difference in time speed between it and the observer causes the relativity predicted increase in mass(11.c) or, the slowing down of it's lifetime as in the decay of the muon.
