Assuming they went to signed 64-bit time, it should be about 3:28:32 pm UTC on Sunday, December 4, 292277026596. Yes, that last number is a year.

That's Saturday night in North American time zones. Just a heads up in case you're planning a boys' night out a couple hundred billion years in advance, maybe move it to Friday night in case the world ends Saturday night.

I think all stars in the galaxy will be dead by then.
