Typically an element of a vector space is called a vector, but Carroll's GR book repeatedly refers to elements of tangent spaces as "transforming as a vector" when they change coordinates as Vμ = ∂xμ/∂xν Vν. However, dual vectors are members of vector spaces (cotangent space) but obey ωμ =...

Hypothetical question: If two oppositely charged point charges have a distance between them of 0 m, how could they be separated; Coulomb's Law would indicate that the electric force between the charges would be an infinite amount of Newtons?
