Unix Time starts with t=0 seconds at
00:00, between 31 Dec 1969 and 01 Jan 1970,
which is also knows as "the epoch."

System time is an unsigned 32-bit number representing
the number of seconds since "the epoch."

32-bit time will run out sometime in 2038.
This gives us 31 years to convert to 64-bit time.
