title: What time are the process.hrtime() and process.hrtime.bigint() functions referring to in Node.js?
body: <p>the <code>process.hrtime()</code> is a legacy version of <code>process.hrtime.bigint()</code> method </p>
  
  <pre><code>process.hrtime();                     // -&gt; [27511, 516453000]   (seconds, remaining nanoseconds)
  process.hrtime.bigint();              // -&gt; 27511516453000n      (nanoseconds)
  </code></pre>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>27511516453000 nanoseconds are 7.6420879036111113 hours </p>
  
  <p>When I'm Testing this the time is 11:54 UTC and 14:54 Locale Time </p></li>
  <li>the 7.64 hours does not refer to the current time so what is that 7.64 hours are referring to? </li>
  </ul>
