Method; returns the number of milliseconds between midnight on January 1, 1970, universal time, and the time specified in the parameters. This is a static method that is invoked through the Date object constructor, not through a specific Date object. This method lets you create a Date object that assumes universal time, whereas the Date constructor assumes local time.
The following example creates a new garyBirthday_date Date object defined in universal time. This is the universal time variation of the example used for the new Date constructor method:
garyBirthday_date = new Date(Date.UTC(1974, 7, 12));
