I am honored to celebrate the life achievements of Professor Ruggero Maria Santilli. I admire Professor Santilli's inspiring and courageous questioning the dogmatic science. The source of the real progress in sciences is brave non-confirmations, pointing dogmas, proposing rival alternatives, brave imaginations, and overcome the preconceptions. Professor Santilli contributed to many multidisciplinary subjects that need to be appreciated by many specialized speakers. My lecture will be restricted to reveal dogmas around the Lorentz isometry group. How many conceptual detriments the Lorentz isometry symmetry group made in fundamental and in applied physics (e.g. absence of the intrinsic mass-center concept for finite radiation speed). The relativity theory should be called the theory of absolute following the idea of Max Planck (1924-lecture: Vom relativen zum Absoluten): reality is measurement-free. The general relativity is the very misleading name for gravity, gravity is neither `general' nor `relative', it is absolute gravity that is appropriately identified by Professor Santilli as the `scientific religion'. I wish to explain that relativity/absolutive must not be related to the conformal symmetry of the Maxwell equations. Does not exists the only one single the relativity/absolutive theory. There is the rival alternative to the Lorentz isometry implicit in the Minkowski 1908-last publication. However before to present the rival theory that is based on the mathematical groupoid structure (that is not a group) I wish to reveal all dogmas related to the Lorentz isometry group, in particular how Lorentz group-covariance contradicts with elementary experiments in electromagnetism. The mathematically wrong (error) Lorentz-covariance is dogmatically and politically accepted because agree with experiments. Consequences for cosmology (Doppler and star aberration) and will be discussed.
