DATE/2 provides an integer result, but the value has no meaning.

There are no simple arithmetic operations that have meaning for time values. The reason is that a time value is simply a real number with time encoded as:

(HOUR*10000 + MINUTE*100 + SECOND) 

where SECOND may include a fractional value.
