In the proof above I need to understand why: $$S_{ij}=S_{ji}$$. Which is the same as proving

$$\int f_i f_j dg=\int f_j f_i dg$$ (I)
Not sure about what I should call the variable for so I called it g. Can someone prove this from the basics? From starting from defintion of complex functions and start from left of (I) and get to the right of (I). I know that complex times complex conjugate gives probability. Thank you!In the link this is introduced at page 2 as $$<f_i|f_j>$$

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!
