I read in an article (lecture) by Stephen Hawking that very minute black holes keep on appearing and disappearing in empty space.

Would anyone like to explain this?

This is a speculative idea regarding quantum gravity.

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
