I criticize his Nobel Lecture as follows:
Nevertheless,
't Hooft also claimed in his Nobel Lecture [41] that the electric energy is
part of the physical mass mphys of an electron. Moreover, he claimed this "physical mass" obeys
Newton's second law F = mphys a. Note that such a claim violates
special relativity because part of the electric energy is far from the electron
and thus cannot react immediately as an inertial mass does. Another Nobel
Laureate Wilczek [42] also incorrectly applied m = E/c2 without
providing a justification. His problem is that he cannot be distinct about the
issue that a type of energy is equivalent to mass is different from that the
mass is equivalent to energy.
