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). This point in time does not change no matter where you are located on the globe, so it is widely used in operating systems, file formats, and computer applications. It is very useful for tracking and sorting dated information.
Unix time is a single signed number that increments every second, which makes it easier for computers to store and manipulate than conventional date systems. Interpreter programs, such as the one in this website, can then convert it to a human-readable format.
