How can we show that real numbers form a vector space over rational numbers? I mean a real number like 2 is just a real number. How is it also possibly a vector? Where is the origin and where does this vector point to?
Why do you say that a real number is possibly a vector? A vector is made of real numbers, isn't it? Why would they be the same thing?
