why was the cleanup IPA thing put down for something with no pronunciation at all? --Cheeesemonger 17:21, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gerardus t' Hooft at Harvard

I just saw this on the commons when I clicked "random image". Is it useful for the article? It is GFDL, so you could make a colour head shot out of it. The spelling mistake in the caption reflects the same spelling mistake in the file name.John Dalton 06:12, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just realised the article picture is a monocrome crop of the above! Maybe make it colour? John Dalton 06:13, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article says that he "will" retire on July 5th of 2011. Has he retired yet? -AMSMeier — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.48.174.21 (talk) 10:33, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

U(1) problem solve

It stated in the article that "In 1986, he was finally able to show that instanton contributions solve the Adler–Bell–Jackiw anomaly, the topic of his master's thesis.[24]". Not that I am an expert in this subject, but as far as I am aware the U(1) problem was solved by him 10 years earlier in the paper Phys. Rev. Lett. 37, 8–11 (1976). Does anybody have more information on this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.61.11.130 (talk) 09:09, 2 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mars One

This article links to Mars One claiming Hooft is a supporter but makes no other mention. Can this be expanded upon (with references of course).--RadioFan (talk) 02:52, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Repeated attacks from the Queen of England's "Court Physicist"

This sounds crazy, but apparently it is all true. In Wales there lives a man claiming to be directly employed by the Head of State to do theoretical physics. His name is Myron Evans. He has a blog on which he makes claims regarding 't Hooft of a remarkable nature. Here are a few examples: "QCD specialists like ‘t Hooft, who indulge in the pastime of journal wrecking, are in reality third class druids, without a licence." (blog March 20, 2017) and thus: "Gerard ‘t Hooft made a fool of himself" (blog March 24, 2017). Witness further claims that "‘t Hooft organized the wiki troll site on ECE [...] Anyone can dream up a theory like [...] renormalization in QCD" (blog August 1, 2015); "‘t Hooft’s personal animosity has been condemned internationally." (blog September 17, 2014); "he is simply irrelevant to progress in physics [...] the stuff ‘t Hooft turns out is not worth reading" (blog July 19, 2014); "I do not think that ‘t Hooft has much technical ability. He is prone to personal animosity which in other areas of life would be described as a common assault. He has no real or actual authority, and Nobel Prize procedures are in need of complete reform. I could argue that ‘t Hooft is in contempt of Crown and Parliament" (blog September 11, 2014); "Gerard ‘t Hooft quietly removed some of his more damaging allegations but it is well known that he made them. He destroyed the journal “Foundations of Physics Letters” and produced an extraordinary editorial in which he attempted to “unaccept” fifteen early ECE papers refereed about forty times, all positively and all already published by Alwyn van der Merwe. G. ‘t Hooft destroyed all the latter’s eminent work." (blog August 26, 2013). There is much more, but the general gist will have become clear.137.205.101.77 (talk) 11:01, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
