The shorter the time (t) a system is under observation the larger
the amount of energy (E) could pop into existence from nothing
without direct detection, enough energy to create virtual
particles. And you can calculate how large the indirect effects
these virtual particles would have on the system.
As I understand the UP, it's a statistical statement about an ensemble
of observations, say for position and momentum of identical particles.
It says nothing about the result of events, say for the position and
momentum of a single particle or event. Doing some arithmetic to get
the time-energy form of the UP does not change this reality. As a
result, your description of what happens to a single particle, virtual
or not, is not intelligible. Please try again. AG
The UP doesn't apply to virtual particles because it refers to the
result of conjugate measurement (projection) operators. You can't
measure virtual particles.
