The terms scalar and vector are used for units of measure, not for arbitrary abstract concepts. Would you consider "life" a unit of measure?

Acknowledging that this is nonsense to begin with ... A vector is a force with direction. And since life is a force and moves only in one direction I'd say it is a Vector.
Life is a complex phenomenon that involves many different aspects such as physical, biological, emotional, and spiritual components. While some aspects of life can be represented as vectors (such as direction of growth or movement), overall it is best to consider life as a scalar quantity since it is difficult to define and quantify in terms of magnitude and direction in the same way we do with traditional vector quantities.
vector
scalar
A scalar is a magnitude that doesn't specify a direction. A vector is a magnitude where the direction is important and is specified.
The product of a vector and a scalar is a new vector whose magnitude is the product of the magnitude of the original vector and the scalar, and whose direction remains the same as the original vector if the scalar is positive or in the opposite direction if the scalar is negative.
Hours is a scalar quantity, as it only represents the magnitude of time elapsed and does not have a direction associated with it.
A scalar times a vector is a vector.
vector
Scalar
When multiplying a vector by a scalar, each component of the vector is multiplied by the scalar. This operation changes the magnitude of the vector but not its direction. Similarly, dividing a vector by a scalar involves dividing each component of the vector by the scalar.
An earthquake is neither a scalar nor a vector. It is an event.

vector
Yes, you can multiply a vector by a scalar. The scalar will multiply each component of the vector by the same value, resulting in a new vector with each component scaled by that value.
