Can't we say vector or scalar quantity is relative thing!
We all know that physical quantities are expressed as vector or scalar quantities.Now let consider 'area',if I say my house is 2000 sq.feet in that sense area may be called scalar but area of a surface is a vector quantity[either upward or downward direction].Now another example is pressure.It is much debatable whether pressure is scalar or vector.So we can solve the dilemma by saying that the whole thing is relative,don't we?
