Also known as the Y2K38 Bug, The Unix Y2K Bug or Epochalypse

The year 2038 problem is a problem caused by how some software systems store dates. When these dates reach 1 second after 03:14:07 UTC on 19 January 2038 they could have an error or incorrectly store the wrong date (in some cases 20:45:52 on Friday, 13 December 1901).
