What is a Unix Timestamp?

A Unix timestamp (also known as Unix time, POSIX time, or Epoch time) is a system for describing a point in time, defined as the number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), Thursday, 1 January 1970, minus leap seconds. It is a widely used standard in computing for tracking time.

Why Use Timestamps?

  • Simplicity: A single integer represents a specific moment in time, making it easy to store and compare.
  • Universality: It's a global standard, unaffected by time zones or daylight saving changes, ensuring consistency across different systems.
  • Efficiency: Ideal for database storage, data transfer, and calculations involving time differences.
