- : A point only exists in _one_ dimension. Hence no magnitude, nor
- : direction, ie. a point is not a vector.
-
- A point can exist in ANY dimension. A vector can exist in any
- dimension. The only difference is that a point has no "substance",
- and a vector does.

- : (How would you measure the length of something infintly small ?)
-
- You don't, if it's mearly a point, because it has no measurable
- qualities.
