I've managed to confuse myself and don't understand the difference between the formula for Lorentz time transformation (t'=γ(t-vx/c^2) and the time dilation equation t'=γ(t_proper)
As I understand, proper time is difference between two events that happen in same place in a given reference frame.
So what do the t's relate to in the Lorentz transformation equation as they must be something different?
