A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC (the Unix Epoch). It is a standard way to represent a point in time in computing.
Most Unix systems use seconds (10 digits for recent dates). JavaScript uses milliseconds (13 digits). To convert: multiply seconds by 1000 to get milliseconds, or divide milliseconds by 1000 to get seconds.
On 32-bit systems, the maximum is 2,147,483,647 (January 19, 2038) — this is the "Year 2038 problem." On 64-bit systems, timestamps extend far into the future.
