Whats the relationship between the wave function and the uncertinaty principle? if there's any
thanks

The position and mmentum each have a wave function, and it so turns out that these wave functions are the Fourier transforms of each other. And the uncertainty priniple then follows from a well known theorem in Fourier transforms.

Which theorem?

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!
