Now I found some text:
"Ticks
returns the number of seconds since 00:00:00.000000 on 1 January 1970, in the
format:
dddddddddddd (no leading zeros or whitespace).
The value returned by Date('T') can be used to calculate the interval
between any two dates. Note, however, that values returned generally
contain more digits than the default NUMERIC DIGITS setting. The NUMERIC
DIGITS setting should be increased to a minimum value of 12 when
performing timestamp arithmetic."
Actually it's the difference between two timestams
difference between dates could use date('B')
