Our civilization is on the verge of self-destruction. This is not in the public eye, as the media are obsessed with corporate and political interests and politicians and economists are unable to see the danger. The fundamental reason for this critical moment is the perceived misconception about the space and Universe. In theoretical physics, there is a problematic field that misleads contemporary science and directs human knowledge in the wrong direction. A direct consequence of this is the misunderstanding essence of our existence as civilization and the connection with the Universe. This leads to underestimation of the role of the spiritual value of the human being and deformation of the social life. All these conclusions are apparent from the new perception of the microcosmos and Universe derived in the Basic Structures of Matter -Supergravitation Unified Theory.

King Cnut (or Canute) was a very important Viking
era ruler in the 11th century. He is mostly known
today as the vain man who was flattered by his
subordinates into believing that he was so awesome
that he could control the tides, which is not correct.
His unique oceanic legacy is important for us in the
21st century.

Being a language, mathematics grounds itself into human mind and culture: mathematics reflect the structure of human mind, rather than being an intrinsic property (or domain) of nature. The radical assumption in the theory of symmetrical nature of unconscious, by Matte Blanco (1975), displaces psychology into the domain of physics: that way, the two topics from Freud (1899; 1923) reveal themselves to be seminal tools in order to understand mathematics and its intrinsic unconscious structure, because the various processes of Symmetrization pertain as much to unconscious as to mathematics.

In his sixth problem, Hilbert called for an axiomatic approach to theoretical physics with an aim to achieve precision and rigour in scientific reasoning, where logic and language (semantics) of physics play the pivotal role. It is from such a point of view, we investigate the scientific value of the modern experiments to perform quantum tests of equivalence principle. Determination of Planck constant involves the use of acceleration due to gravity of the earth (g) that results in the force on a test mass. The equivalence between inertial mass and gravitational mass of a test object is assumed in the process of logically defining g from the relevant hypotheses of physics. Consequently, if Planck constant is used as input in any experiment (or in the associated theory that founds such an experiment) that is designed to test the equivalence between inertial and gravitational mass, then it is equivalent to establish a scientific truth by implicitly assuming it i.e. a tautology. There are several notable examples which plague the frontiers of current scientific research which claim to make quantum test of equivalence principle. We question the scientific value of such experiments from Hilbert's axiomatic point of view. This work adds to the recently reported semantic obstacle in any axiomatic attempt to put "quantum" and "gravity" together, albeit with an experimental tint.

Comments: 8 Pages. Int. J. Theor. Phys. 61, 55 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1007/s10773-022-05051-8. Almost identical with published version.
The importance of language in physics has gained emphasis in recent times, on the one hand through Hilbert's views that concern formalism and intuition applied for outer inquiry, and on the other hand through Brouwer's point of view that concerns intuition applied for inner inquiry or, as I call, self-inquiry. It is to demonstrate the essence of such investigations, especially self-inquiry (inward intuition), I find it compelling to report that a careful analysis of Cauchy's statements for the definition of derivative, as applied in physics, unveils the connection to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle as a condition for the failure of classical mechanics. Such logico-linguistic, or semantically driven, self-inquiry of physics can provide new insights to physicists in the pursuit of truth and reality, for example, in the context of Schroedinger equation. I point out an explicit dilemma that plagues the semantics of physics, as far as general relativity and quantum mechanics are concerned, which needs to be taken into account during any attempt to pen down a theory of ``quantum gravity''.

Comments: 9 Pages. How can the theory SR mislead and convince the minds?
Scientific analysis, experiment steps, results and interpretations are conceived in the brain, as well as imagination and word and concept coding. The proper reporting of results is also critical. Especially in theoretical physics, linguistic skill and carefulness while writing are becoming a more pressing need in new subjects at the horizons of existing knowledge. There are people from other fields who are ready to misunderstand and spark unnecessary discourses/conclusions; they produce books from a few bytes of information such as "yes/no/maybe"; consequently, nonscience or occult misinformation emerges, examples of which abound in the fields of special relativity theory and quantum physics. Thus, science must not use the phrases that supported the Paleolithic mind.
