Q: Why is the FLWR metric dependent on the observer?

HabouzThe FLWR metric is: $$ds^2=-dt^2+a(t)d\vec{x}^2$$ and has a function whose dependence is on $t$. Different observers measure the time elapsed differently. Does that mean each observer measures the expansion of the universe differently?

Q: Is the wave nature of electron just its probability wave or something more?

Stardustlight is said to act like both wave and particle. When we talk about an electron we say it's a particle and the wave portion is just its probability and not a physical wave like light So is there some actual wave nature of the electron itself like light or is it a wave due to its probability only...

Q: Why do people say a larger object exerts a larger gravitational pull?

RichieBy Newton's third law of motion there will be equal and opposite forces of gravity exerted on two objects despite their masses. Hence why does a larger objects exert a larger gravitational pull? In other words why does force of gravity increase with mass?

Q: Wave Function Collapse and the Dirac Delta Function

Álvaro RodrigoWhen the wave function of a quantum system collapses, the probability of finding it at some specific point is given depends on $||\Psi||^2$: $$ \int_{\mathbb{R}^3}{d^3 \mathbf x \; ||\Psi||^2} = 1 $$ Could this modulus square, the instant you measure, be thought as the Dirac Delta Function, beca...

Q: Euler-Lagrange equation in curved spacetime

Rob TanThe action of a field $\phi^\mu$ in flat $n$-dimensional spacetime is $$ S = \int \text{d}^n x \mathscr{L}(\phi^\mu(x),\partial_\alpha \phi^\mu(x)) $$ From an infinitesimal variation of field configuration, and discarding a boundary term, we have E-L equations $$ \frac{\partial \mathscr{L}}{\part...
