Amine inversion was first discovered in 1934 . 
what happens is the lone pair keeps shifting its position . if for instance it is at the north pole after inversion , it goes to 
the south pole . this is a amazing phenomenon known as quantum mechanical tunneling , 
As we all know , amine is sp3 hybridised and the transition state  is sp2 hybridised as the lone pair enters the nucleus leaving behind a vacant orbital . 
And after some time , the lone pair popes out of the other side . Since , the inverted amine is an enantiomer . the energy remains the same .
