Generation

# Unix Epoch Time **Unix epoch time** (or Unix timestamp) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since **January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC** (Coordinated Universal Time), not counting leap seconds. ## Worked Example **What is the Unix timestamp for January 1, 1970, 00:05:00 UTC?** Since the epoch starts at 00:00:00: - 5 minutes have passed - 5 minutes × 60 seconds/minute = **300 seconds** **Answer: 300** --- **Common reference point:** Unix timestamp `1000000000` occurred on September 9, 2001, at 01:46:40 UTC.
