About Epoch Time

Epoch time (also known as Unix time) is a system for tracking time defined as the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. It's a fundamental concept in networking and computing for logging, sequencing, and reliable time synchronization across systems.

Key Facts

  • Reference: The starting point is always 00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 1970.
  • Measurement: Epoch is measured in whole seconds (or milliseconds for higher precision).
  • Time Zones: IST is UTC +5:30 (India Standard Time).

The Y2K38 Problem

On January 19, 2038, 32-bit systems may experience an overflow as the Epoch number exceeds $2^{31}$. Most modern systems use 64-bit to prevent this. This is why Epoch is primarily used in networking and server systems.
