In Poincare-Wigner-Dirac theory of relativistic interactions, boosts are dynamical. This means that - just like time translations - boost transformations have non-trivial effect on internal variables of interacting systems. This is different from space translations and rotations, whose actions are always universal, trivial and interaction-independent. Applying this theory to unstable particles viewed from a moving reference frame, we prove that the decay probability cannot be invariant with respect to boosts. Different moving observers may see different internal compositions of the same unstable particle. Unfortunately, this effect is too small to be noticeable in modern experiments.
