| No you don't, you hallucinate distance is a scalar.

| No, distance does not have a direction.

Geschwindigkeit doesn't have direction.
Ergo Geschwindigkeit isn't a vector. You said velocity was a vector and
speed wasn't.
****in' stupid, aren't you?

If I don't google distance will still be a vector.

What's the difference between "Geschwindigkeit" (German for speed)
and "Geschwindigkeit" (German for velocity), now that I've told you?
