<span>A measurement
that both magnitude and direction is a vector quantity. An example of this is a
moving car. The car exerts force due to its thrust and weight that runs in it. This
will give us the magnitude of the car. The resulting motion of the car in terms
of displacement, velocity and acceleration that determines its direction makes
it a vector quantity. On the other hand, a measurement that has only magnitude is
a scalar quantity. The energy exerted by the engine of the car is a scalar
quantity.</span>

Convection currents describe the rising, spread, and sinking of gas, liquid, or molten material caused by the application of heat.
I was about to say: because people generally get comfortable with
what they think they know, and don't like the discomfort of being told
that they have to change something they're comfortable with.
But then I thought about it a little bit more, and I have a different answer.
"Society" might initially reject a new scientific theory, because 'society'
is totally unequipped to render judgement of any kind regarding any
development in Science.
First of all, 'Society' is a thing that's made of a bunch of people, so it's
inherently unequipped to deal with scientific news. Anything that 'Society'
decides has a lot of the mob psychology in it, and a public opinion poll or
a popularity contest are terrible ways to evaluate a scientific discovery.
Second, let's face it. The main ingredient that comprises 'Society' ... people ...
are generally uneducated, unknowledgeable, unqualified, and clueless in the
substance, the history, and the methods of scientific inquiry and reporting.
There may be very good reasons that some particular a new scientific theory
should be rejected, or at least seriously questioned. But believe me, 'Society'
doesn't have them.
That's pretty much why.
