What results in Chirality? And what is the physical implication of chirality in Dirac equation?

There's nothing interesting in chirality in the Dirac eqtn. It's much more interesting to analyze the Weyl equation and Weyl spinors...

Thank you for the comment. Is Weyl equation just Dirac Equation taking the limit that the mass is zero?

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!
