Observers moving at a relative velocity v do not measure the same elapsed time between two events. Proper time Δτ is the time measured in the reference frame where the start and end of the time interval occur at the same location.

But the components of the vector joining two events, or their projections on to the time axis or a space axis are not at all expected to be equal.

Time dilation is the phenomenon of time passing slower for an observer who is moving relative to another observer. Observers moving at a relative velocity do not measure the same elapsed time for an event. Proper time is measured by an observer at rest relative to the event being observed and implies that relative velocity cannot exceed the speed of light.
