  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Instant firstInstant = Instant.ofEpochSecond(1294881180); 
    Instant secondInstant = Instant.ofEpochSecond(1294708260); 

    Duration between = Duration.between(firstInstant, secondInstant);

    System.out.println(between);
    
    long seconds = between.getSeconds();

    long absoluteResult = between.abs().toMinutes();
