Proceedings 2011 International Conference on Transportation, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering (TMEE), 2011
There is a logical hidden contradiction in general Lorentz transformation because of its non-group. It is necessary to revise this transformation in order to get rid of such a contradiction. However, a new general transformation of coordinate which can constitute group makes imaginary numbers appear on the space coordinates which describe an event ...
