Temporal: Getting started with JavaScript's new date time API

The epoch is a specific moment in all time zones. It didn't happen at one moment in Greenwich and then another moment twelve hours later in Auckland & Wellington. Any subsequent moment can be represented based on the amount of time that has passed since that moment.

No "which time zone" confusion necessary.
