Abstract
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. Therefore, Minkowski space perhaps needs to be replaced by complex space.
