The end of the world.

This is when the unix epoch reaches 2,147,483,647 (2^31 - 1) this number is too much for the system to handle and then goes to -2,147,483,648 causing confusion

there is a backup by making it 64 bits instead if 32 thus extending the limit to happen in 2486

When does the integer overflow? January 19th 2038
