Close. This is from Google:

The Unix epoch is the representation of points in time as the number of 
non-leap seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 1970, introduced by the 
Unix operating system, standardised in POSIX, and later adopted by the Java 
programming language and JavaScript. Because many computers today store the 
number of seconds as a 32-bit signed integer, the Unix epoch is often said to 
last 231 seconds, thus "ending" at 03:14:07 Tuesday, January 19, 2038 (UTC).
