Does mass bend the Higgs field as well?

We know that - mass bends space-time - this is known as gravity

We also know that - (interaction with) Higgs fields gives mass to particles

Does mass/gravity bend the Higgs field as well?

What do you mean with "bend the Higgs field"? ;)

Mass bends spacetime, and the Higgs field is within this spacetime. While there is no theory to combine quantum mechanics and gravity yet, I think it is a reasonable model to say that the space where the Higgs field is in is bent.

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!
