Understanding Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) & Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
While GMT is a time zone historically anchored to Greenwich in London, UTC is the modern high-precision scientific time standard used globally to regulate clocks and computer networks. Coordinated Universal Time does not change for Daylight Saving Time (DST). Offsets are indicated by a positive or negative sign (for example, UTC+05:30 indicates time is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of UTC).
What is Unix Epoch Time?
Unix epoch time (also referred to as POSIX time or Unix timestamp) is a system for tracking time represented as the total number of elapsed seconds since Thursday, January 1, 1970 (UTC), excluding leap seconds. It is widely used in software development, logs, database storage, and system synchronization.
