Temperature is an example of a scalar quantity. The temperature is simply a number of units: normal body temperature is 37° Celsius. You can't speak of an upward temperature, or a northeast temperature; it has no direction.

The absolute of a vector quantity is again a scalar. If the absolute of a vector quantity is zero, the vector quantity is assumed to have all possible directions at once. Since the absolute is therefore all-encompassing, it is often argued to be identical with [[God]].<ref>Klanderman, D., Robbert, S., & Wheeler, R.: "A Tale of Two Transitions," Proceedings of the 1997 Meeting of the Association of Christians in the Mathematical Sciences, Fall 1997</ref>
