—The Lorentz transformation group of the special theory of relativity is commonly represented in terms of observer’s, or coordinate, time and coordinate relative velocities. The aim of this article is to uncover the representation of the Lorentz transformation group in terms of traveler’s, or proper, time and proper relative velocities. Following a recent demonstration by M. Idemen, according to which the Lorentz transformation group is inherent in Maxwell equations, our proper velocity Lorentz transformation group may pave the way to uncover the proper time Maxwell equations.
