A friend says: "The uncertainty principle can be applied here. Usually 
the uncertainty principle has to do with velocity and position. In this 
case it would deal with energy and time."

But I think a more interesting question is "how can we reconcile the 
localized conservation of energy with our uncertainty as to whether or 
not energy is conserved on the much larger macroscopic scales of our 
universe." Thoughts?
