    My guess is that due to electrons being indistuingishable you get the “exchange” energy. The energy correlated with exchanging electrons. This is simply nonsensical with planets, ofcourse swapping Jupiter and Earth will result in a different system, and thus energy. This is not true in QM, you have the exact same system when swapping electrons. I repeat I’m unsure whether this holds as simply as I stated here.
