os.clock()

Returns the number of nanoseconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 UTC.

January 1st, 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC is referred to as the Unix epoch. Early Unix engineers picked that date arbitrarily because they needed to set a uniform date for the start of time, and New Year's Day, 1970, seemed most convenient.
