If electrons actually 'orbited' a nucleus, then no atoms could ever form The electron would radiate away all its energy and fall into the nucleus in about 10 𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑡𝘩𝑠 of a secondpic.twitter.com/5JvjrhpAGl

Does it? What about a sequence of measurements of position? Just wondering.
If you measure it one instant after the other it will not move, but as time evolves you’ll see the PDF take shape .. the point is that you’ll never measure a trajectory

Iet say we try a solution with angular momentum 1 Kg m2/s. And also in a plane, or fixing Lz. Classical mechanics should apply.

Thinking about orbitals... https://twitter.com/InertialObservr/status/1128728388942741504 … I wonder if mathematicians have classical versions of them. For instance, a l=0 orbital would be the set of straight lines crossing the origin of the central force. A l=n orbital should be some set of circles.
The spherical harmonics 𝑌(θ,φ) are the reason why the electron orbitals have the shape they do.
Go ahead, plot them for different quantum numbers (ℓ,𝑚) !
