... • The principle of relativity requires that if the laws of physics are to be the same in every inertial reference frame, the quantities on both sides of an = sign must undergo the same Lorentz transformation so they stay equal. You cannot make any invariant from space or time variables alone. That's ...

Time dilation
In the theory of relativity, time dilation is a difference of elapsed time between two events as measured by observers either moving relative to each other or differently situated from a gravitational mass or masses.An accurate clock at rest with respect to one observer may be measured to tick at a different rate when compared to a second observer's own equally accurate clocks. This effect arises neither from technical aspects of the clocks nor from the fact that signals need time to propagate, but from the nature of spacetime itself.
