    The 1s electron in hydrogen atom is over time exploring all of space. When I look at it from the hydrogen nucleus, I see it most of the time in the short distance zone, from the nucleus to the hydrogen atom radius. If we wait long enough, it will explore the entire sphere with center the nucleus and with radius the hydrogen atome radius.
