What is Unix Timestamp?
Unix timestamp (also known as Epoch time or POSIX time) is a system for tracking time as a running count of seconds since the Unix Epoch on January 1st, 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC. This timestamp is widely used in computing systems, databases, and programming languages for storing and manipulating date and time information.
