Epoch & Unix Timestamp Converter

Converts an epoch/ unix timestamp into a human readable date. It also lets you do the inverse, i.e. converts a human readable date into an epoch/unix timestamp. It also displays the recent epoch/unix timestamp in equally seconds and milliseconds. Epoch, also acknowledged as Unix timestamps, is the quantity of seconds (not milliseconds!) that have elapsed since January one, 1970 at 00:00:00 GMT (1970-01-01 00:00:00 GMT). In many contemporary programming languages, day objects make use of epoch as a starting point from which they compute the inner day worth. For example, in Java, the java.lang.Date course is established with the variety of milliseconds that have elapsed given that epoch. Many thanks to Kevin Stewart for pointing out the conversion concern.
