It is found that the relationship between particle mass and lifetime can be
obtained by assuming that the critical distance where the average interpar
ticle acceleration reaches its maximum represents the uncertainty of the in
terparticle position. If the interparticle force is given by a static one a
s f(r), the relationship can be written as mM < f(eta tau(M)), eta = O(1),
where m and M are particle masses, and r,M is the lifetime of the particle
with mass M. From the application of the above relationship to the electrow
eak interaction, it is found that the lower bounds to charged and neutral l
eptons can be estimated as eta(-2) MeV and eta(-1)10(7-19 eta) eV, respecti
vely, which suggests that the electron be the lightest among charged lepton
s, and that the neutrino be massive with its lightest mass around 1 eV or l
ess. It is also found that the upper bound to the Higgs-boson mass can be e
stimated as 1 TeV.
