MIT Professor Walter Lewi's Physics 801 Lecture 34

Topics covered: Classical Mechanics, in spite of all of its impressive predictive power, fails to explain many microscopic behaviors. This led to the development of Quantum Mechanics, where electrons orbit nuclei in discrete energy levels, light can behave as a particle, and particles behave as waves. The location of microscopic particles can only be expressed in terms of probabilities. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is discussed and demonstrated.

In quantum mechanics wouldn't it be highly unlikely but still possible that an electron be in the nucleus rather then orbit it?
