A virtual particle having an approximate mass of 1014 GeV/c2 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 theconservation of mass-energy as allowed by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle)?
