Comment on "Trouble with the Lorentz Law of Force: Incompatibility with Special Relativity and Momentum Conservation [arXiv:1205.0096]"
Abstract
In this Comment it is shown that the principle of relativity is naturally satisfied and there is no paradox if an independent physical reality is attributed to the four-dimensional (4D) geometric quantities (GQs) and not, as usual, to the 3D quantities. Hence, there is no need either for the change of the expression for the Lorentz force, but as a 4D GQ, or for the introduction of some "hidden" 3D quantities.
