   But if we look at electron orbitals, surely these are not static   
   shapes over time?

   Are they just rotating or are they also fluctuating in size/amplitude?   
      
   Would an electron absorbing or emitting a photon just be like a   
   variation of the same shape or going from one shape to a different shape?
