p= rho * <g> dot <h>

p is the pressure in a static fluid.
rho is the volume density of fluid.
<g> is the acceleration of gravity.
<h> is the depth of fluid.
dot is the dot product.

The above equation tells that pressure HAS
TO be a scalar quantity in 3D vector algebra
of physics.

Yes, I am. On this tiny planet, earth, all human beings
are ill-trained in 3D vector algebra, except me.

And modest too.

PS - Such unbridled arrogance is often a sign of psychosis.

Yes, because it takes a goddamn genius to understand vector algebra.

Your hubris is amazing. It sure must be lonely at the top...

Yes, I am. I did not include ETs.
