Query about uncertainty principle.
Post Body

I've been working through some theories and I'm having trouble figuring out exactly how long borrowed energy via uncertainty can last.

As an example lets say there's a decay step that requires more energy than there is in the system to happen but there's a second step that combined with the first has a net positive amount of energy. Could this decay chain happen? How short a half life would there have to be for this decay chain to borrow the energy to get two steps down before it has to give it back?
