OEIS
OEIS: A215414 shows the Unix time at the start of each year, beginning with 1970. In this sequence, a(n+4)=a(n)+126230400 (not a(n)+126144000 due to an extra day every 4 years). GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 05:06, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
It ignores the Gregorian leap year rule. The term for the year 2101 should be 4133980800 rather than 4134067200. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 05:23, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

The 64-bit epoch will last for more than 290,000,000,000 years. 290 billion years ago there wasn't an earth. There won't be an earth 290 billion years from now. The end of 64-bit Unix time will not pose a problem. CarlosTakeshi (talk) 02:18, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
Other Calendars
It would be extremely useful for there to be a section about the Unix epoch in other calendars. There is a woeful lack of information on those, and I was unable to find much about them. I just don't want to be accused of like just putting a bunch of information on a page that's probably accessed a lot, so I thought I'd run it by here first. As you can tell, I'm kind of new to editing. The info I'd put is:
| Calendar | Date | Additional information |
|---|---|---|
| Julian | 19-December-1969 | Fell on a Thursday |
| Hebrew | 5730-Teveth-23 | Embolismic deficient (383 day year) |
| Islamic | 1389-Shawwal-22 | Fell on a yawm al-khamis |
| Persian | 1348 Dey 11 | Fell on a Panjshanbeh |
| Mayan | 12.17.16.7.5 | Lord of the night was G1 |
| Chinese | Yi-Chou (Ox), 24, 4667 | Year Name was Ji You (Rooster) |
Since these are all used for various purposes frequently (both UNIX time and the calendars), I think this would be relevant. The only problem is that it's really hard to find formatting info for a lot of these, since they're calendars and people are famous for not agreeing on calendars. Either way I'll post it if there are no complaints.
