Is time a vector or scalar quantity?


Time is a scalar quantity. And any interval of time is also scalar. It has magnitude only. A vector quantity is a scalar quantity that has the added or extra "dimension" of direction




Time has magnitude, but is not considered to have direction as such. Time, though it can be "tricky" to deal with in quantum mechanics, is generally thought of as moving "forward" and generally cannot more in another direction. "
