Internet Time

When my daughter turns 26, the unix time will be defunct, because it only spans from 1970 to 2038.

We should use a standard that acknowledges creation, humanity, and the internet.

We should share a timestamp to measure our past, our present, and our future.

Here is how we do it.

Creation

The age of the universe is 13.798 billion years.

Humanity

The tropical earth year is 365.242 days.

Internet

The first internet log occured at 10:30pm PST on October 29, 1969.

Together

All together, the calculated time from the birth of the universe to the first internet log is 435,422,227,622,400,000,000 milliseconds.

universeAgeInYears = 13798000000;
tropicalYear = 365.242;

hoursInDay = 24;
minutesInHour = 60;
secondsInMinute = 60;

ageAtInternetBirth = universeAgeInYears * tropicalYear * hoursInDay * minutesInHour * secondsInMinute * 1000;

Ridiculous

Maybe. It is almost double (a U.S sextillion 21-digit number) the existing length of a unix timestamp.
