It should also be pointed out thanks to the comments from visitors to this site that this point.
Unix timestamp wall clock.
The unix epoch or unix time or posix time or unix timestamp is the number of seconds that have elapsed since january 1 1970 midnight utc gmt not counting leap seconds in iso 8601.
Leap seconds are ignored with a leap second having the same unix time as the second before it and every day is treated.
Similar to the y2k problem the year 2038 problem is caused by insufficient.
By clicking on the clock face you can start and stop the ticker.
Entering in the date you want and the time stamp clock will readjust itself to the correct unix time.
Unix time also known as epoch time posix time seconds since the epoch or unix epoch time 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 time stamp is a way to track time as a running total of seconds.
The year 2038 problem also called y2038 epochalypse y2k38 or unix y2k relates to representing time in many digital systems as the number of seconds passed since 00 00 00 utc on 1 january 1970 and storing it as a signed 32 bit integer such implementations cannot encode times after 03 14 07 utc on 19 january 2038.
There is also an online timestamp ticker which will display the count up from the epoch base date of january 1 1970.
The unix epoch is 00 00 00 utc on 1 january 1970.
Literally speaking the epoch is unix time 0 midnight 1 1 1970 but epoch is often used as a synonym for unix time.
