If we were to update Unix time to be stored in a 64 bit signed integer, we could handle over 584 billion years, or 292 billion years in either direction of the 1970 epoch.
it depends on the CPU architecture. if you have a 32 bit CPU then it will only be able to save up to a 32 bit int. unix epoch time is just how many seconds passed since 1.1.1970 and cant be “updated”
