Common questions
Where does January 1st, 1970 come from?
The Unix Epoch — the zero point of Unix time — was chosen during the design of Unix in the late 1960s. It has no deeper technical significance beyond being a convenient recent date. All Unix timestamps count seconds elapsed since that moment in UTC.
Do Unix timestamps account for time zones?
No. A Unix timestamp is always UTC — it carries no time zone information. Converting to a local time (e.g. Europe/Warsaw) is the job of your application code or datetime library, not the timestamp itself.
What is the Year 2038 problem?
Older systems store Unix time as a signed 32-bit integer, whose maximum value (2,147,483,647) corresponds to January 19, 2038, 03:14:07 UTC. After that moment the counter overflows and wraps to 1901. 64-bit systems handle timestamps billions of years into the future and are not affected.
