Fun Fact
Unix time does not count leap seconds, which means its clock occasionally drifts slightly from astronomical time, making it a fascinating engineering compromise between precision and simplicity.
Historical Context
Unix time originated in the early 1970s alongside the Unix operating system. Engineers needed a universal, timezone-independent way to represent time numerically, leading to the adoption of the Epoch starting at January 1, 1970 UTC. Today it remains the backbone of global computing systems.
