Back to 33.1 The Yukawa Particle and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle Revisited

33.1 Exercise 1

Avg difficulty 2.5

A virtual particle having an approximate mass of 1014GeV/c2\text{10}^{\text{14}} \text{GeV}/ c^{2} may be associated with the unification of the strong and electroweak forces. For what length of time could this virtual particle exist (in temporary violation of the conservation of mass-energy as allowed by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle)?
