What is Vectors vs One-Forms in GR about?
The document discusses the difference between vectors and one-forms in physics. It begins by describing how one-forms are defined as functions that take vectors as arguments. It then discusses that in Minkowski space, the component transformations between vectors and one-forms are related by the metric. The responder then provides two ways to conceptualize the difference: 1) Thinking of vectors as column matrices and one-forms as row matrices, where the inner product is a multiplication between them. 2) In
