What is Unix Timestamp?
The Unix timestamp is a system for describing a point in time. It is the number of seconds that have elapsed since the Unix epoch, minus leap seconds; the Unix epoch is 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970.
Computer Friendly
Timestamps are easy for computers to store and manipulate, making them a standard in programming.
Universal
UTC timestamps are independent of timezones, providing a consistent reference point worldwide.
Future Proof
64-bit timestamps will work for billions of years, far beyond the 'Year 2038' problem.
