'u64' is a very very large number. after calculation, if it is based on nano second (although I am not quite sure whether it is based on it).
a hour, 3,600,000,000,000ns a day, 90,000,000,000,000ns a year, 50,000,000,000,000,000ns 10 years, 500,000,000,000,000,000ns 100 years, 5,000,000,000,000,000,000ns 4G * 4G = 16,000,000,000,000,000,000ns
So we can assume it will never overflow for 'u64'.
