pd.Timestamp() behavior in Pandas

Trying to understand why t1 takes current date whereas t2 takes the epoch date in Pandas in Python. Any thoughts would help.

import pandas as pd

t1 = pd.Timestamp("23:12:05")
print("t1:",t1)

t2 = pd.Timestamp(1)
print("t2:"t2)

Output:

t1: 2024-07-23 23:12:05
t2: 1970-01-01 00:00:00.000000001

There are essentially three calling conventions for the constructor of pd.Timestamp, the one you are using in both case is the first one.

It takes either a datetime-like string (t1) or a float representing a Unix epoch (number of seconds since 1970-01-01) in units of seconds (t2).

You can read more here (pandas documentation)
