The derivation leading to the formulation of Lorentzian transformation in special relativity is actually a duplication of an ancient “miracle” in algebra: 2x−x=0, 2x=x, 2=1. Dominated by such a mathematical confusion, relativity displays fundamental uncertainty in understanding physics. As such, with equations, it claims to have “discovered” two speed limits in nature: the speed of light in the vacuum space and the speed of light at the mass center of a material body. Needless to say, these two speed limits repel each other, not to mention that the second speed limit is even against nature. Relativity then further extends this confusion and uncertainty in physics to make up many self‐contradicting concepts. These concepts include the so‐called homogeneous gravitational field and the idea of having (circumference/diameter)>3.1415926… for a spinning circle. With the same mathematics guiding to its “success”, however, relativity presents no homogeneous gravitational field, but a monster that must be called a homogeneously inhomogeneous field for its appropriation. Based on the same erroneous mathematics, relativity must force itself to have (circumference/diameter)<3.1415926… for a spinning circle. With the idea of a homogeneous gravitational field, relativity believes that it can establish the validity of the so‐called Principle of Equivalence for the legitimacy of general relativity. However, Newtonian mechanics, supported by the close orbital movements of numerous heavenly objects, must witness the nonexistence of such a “principle” in nature.
