"48 bits is enough to represent a millisecond-precision Unix timestamp (the number of milliseconds since an epoch at the beginning of Jan 1, 1970) till the year 10889 AD. Given the way we're going, humanity in its present form isn't likely to exist them, so when this becomes an issue it'll be somebody else's problem. More likely something else's problem." Lol this is an odd bit of conjecture to interject.
