I’m getting to grips with Java and just did a quick Google search to find out how to get a Unix timestamp. Please, bear witness to what happens when you go too far back when explaining something.

“Time is a physical property. For Physicists it is a dimension tightly coupled with space (spacetime). Time as a physical property (or dimension) passes uniformly.”

Yeah, I just need that timestamp example…

“We simply can’t define how fast time passes - we live inside of it. Just like a piece of driftwood in a river is unable to change its speed relative to the current we can not change our speed within time.”

I had to scroll to back up to ensure that, yes, this page really is entitled “Date and time in Java”. I feel like Brian Cox is explaining Java to me.
