FAQ
What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp (or Epoch time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC. It's a standard way to represent time in computing.
Why use Unix timestamps?
Unix timestamps are timezone-independent, easy to store (just a number), and simple to compare. They're widely used in databases, APIs, and programming.
What's the difference between seconds and milliseconds?
