What would be the foreseeable impacts on science if it were possible to solve the Schrodinger or even Dirac equations analytically (and exactly) for every case?

It can't be done, so this sounds like pointless speculation.

Indeed. Thread closed.

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!
