What is epoch time?

Epoch time, also known as Unix time or POSIX time, is a system for describing a point in time. It is defined as the number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) on January 1, 1970, not counting leap seconds. This date is known as the Unix Epoch.

Epoch time is widely used in computer systems and programming as a standardized way to represent and work with dates and times.
