Epoch Sentinel
The definitive interface for temporal translation. Synchronize Unix Epochs with human-readable dimensions across the global timeline.
Temporal Authority: The Unix Epoch Guide
"Unix time defines the global heartbeat of distributed systems, providing a singular, immutable reference for temporal state."
Immutable State
The Unix Epoch represents a continuous integer stream since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.
A-Spatial Logic
Unix timestamps are intrinsically timezone-agnostic, defining a universal point on the cosmic timeline.
Developer Sync
Essential for logging, TTL configuration, and idempotent event ordering in distributed architectures.
Temporal Protocol FAQ
SYS: Seconds vs Milliseconds?
Standard Unix is in seconds (10 digits). JavaScript and Java often use milliseconds (13 digits).
SYS: The 2038 Problem?
32-bit integers will overflow on Jan 19, 2038. Modern 64-bit systems handle timestamps for billions of years.
SYS: Timezone Agnostic?
Yes. Use Unix for storage and transmission; convert to localized time only for human presentation.
SYS: Leap Seconds?
Unix time generally ignores leap seconds, as each day is traditionally treated as exactly 86,400 seconds.
