The lifetime of muons (0.000002 second) can be measured in experiments, see for example http://www.particle.kth.se/~pearce/muonlab/muonlab.pdf It's because of the relativistic effects described in this article that time passes differently for the travelling muons than it does for us. Hope that answers the question!
