I have trouble understanding the Lorentz transformation to proof the dilation of time.
If I use:
$$dt ^{'} = \frac{dt}{\sqrt{(1-(v^2/c^2))}}$$
Understanding that $S^{'}$ is the moving frame of reference.
We can see that the square root in the denominator is smaller when $v \rightarrow c$ and we get that if $v \rightarrow c$ then $dt' \rightarrow \inf$... something different to the expected result that time goes slower in S'.
What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks in advance.
