Generation

# Unix Epoch Time Unix epoch time (or Unix timestamp) is a system for tracking time as the number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 1970, excluding leap seconds. This date is called the "Unix epoch." The system represents time as a single integer, making it simple for computers to store and compare timestamps across different time zones and systems. **Key formula:** ``` Unix timestamp = (Current date/time - January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC) in seconds ```
