I'm assuming you ran this program in the Go playground.

The time in the playground is fixed, it is always the date and time of the Go announcement.

In future, this question is best directed to the mailing list, the issue tracker is for bugs.

time.Now()
is not accurate, when I write it to mongodb.
and when I compare with python time.now() function,
