This result could change physics forever

If I ever become rich, I'm going to college to study to become a theoretical physicist.  Questions:  (1) With muons, they absorb and then reemit particles.  When a muon absorbs a particle, do they also take on the mass of that particle until they reemit said particle?  (2) If some quantum foam particle winked into existents, was absorbed by a muon and then reemitted, would that particle then wink back out of existents once reemitted or would it then be  "bound" to our universe and stick around?  I'm asking for a friend :).
