What is a Unix Timestamp?
The Unix Epoch (or Unix time / POSIX time) is a system for describing a point in time. It is the number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 UTC, Thursday, 1 January 1970, minus leap seconds.
Unix time is widely used in operating systems and file formats because it represents a single, monotonically increasing number that is easy to compute with and is independent of time zones.
The Year 2038 Problem: On January 19, 2038, 32-bit Unix timestamps will overflow. Modern systems have mostly transitioned to 64-bit timestamps which won't overflow for approximately 292 billion years.
