Are you this utterly clue-resistant?

Why, when you are doing a sterling job of showing your ignorance.... You never
did define how the area vector is defined for an irregular area....
particularly one that lies on a curved surface, for example.

mass as a vector! What does the DIRECTION of the mass vector represent?

Yes, force is a vector [Drop the 3D nonsense]. This is known.

The freshman physics formulae [all of which I have derived in more
general situations] that you use are only true in one dimensional
cases. Your way of generalizing to higher dimensions is wrong, but not
nearly as wrong as concluding all physicists are stupid because you
never went past introductory physics.

I thought Asians were supposed to be good at mathematical based
sciences?

Again, let's check this equation pressure = force / area.
Force is a 3D vector and pressure is a scalar, therefore
area is a 3D vector.
<area> = <force> / pressure

....and this is why you would fail an introductory physics course.

Stop generalizing from equations that are true in only one dimension.
