Why is the typical lifetime so different depending on the type of interaction?

Why is $\tau$ so different when it comes to Quantum Electrodynamics ($10^{-16}$s), Quantum Flavordynamics ($>10^{-13}$s) and Quantum Chromodynamics ($10^{-23}$s)? Does this have something to do ...

Understanding type of force interaction in particle decays

Are there any fundamental rules of thumbs that can be used to identify the type of force interaction (weak, electromagnetic, strong) in a particle decay without drawing the Feynman diagrams at the ...
