/**
* There are quite a few different conventions for binary datetime, depending on different platforms
* and protocols. Some of these have severe drawbacks. For example, people using Unix time (seconds
* since Jan 1, 1970, usually in a 32-bit integer) think that they are safe until near the year
* 2038. But cases can and do arise where arithmetic manipulations causes serious problems. Consider
* the computation of the average of two datetimes, for example: if one calculates them with <code>
* averageTime = (time1 + time2)/2</code>, there will be overflow even with dates beginning in 2004.
* Moreover, even if these problems don't occur, there is the issue of conversion back and forth
* between different systems.
*
* <p>Binary datetimes differ in a number of ways: the datatype, the unit, and the epoch (origin).
* We refer to these as time scales.
*
* <p>ICU implements a universal time scale that is similar to the .NET framework's System.DateTime.
* The universal time scale is a 64-bit integer that holds ticks since midnight, January 1st, 0001.
* (One tick is 100 nanoseconds.) Negative values are supported. This has enough range to guarantee
* that calculations involving dates around the present are safe.
*
* <p>The universal time scale always measures time according to the proleptic Gregorian calendar.
* That is, the Gregorian calendar's leap year rules are used for all times, even before 1582 when
* it was introduced. (This is different from the default ICU calendar which switches from the
* Julian to the Gregorian calendar in 1582. See GregorianCalendar.setGregorianChange() and
* ucal_setGregorianChange().)
*
* <p>ICU provides conversion functions to and from all other major time scales, allowing datetimes
* in any time scale to be converted to the universal time scale, safely manipulated, and converted
* back to any other datetime time scale.
*
* <p>For more details and background, see the <a
* href="https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/datetime/universaltimescale">Universal Time
* Scale</a> chapter in the ICU User Guide.
