timestamp and dateTime are similar - they store a date (YYYY-MM-DD) and time (HH:MM:SS)
  together in a single field i.e. YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS. The difference
    between the two is that timestamp can use (MySQL's) CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
    as its value, whenever the database record is updated. This can be handled at
    the database level and is great for Laravel's created_at and updated_at fields.

Note also that timestamp has a limit of 1970-01-01 00:00:01 UTC to 2038-01-19 03:14:07
UTC (source), whilst dateTime has a range of 1000-01-01 00:00:00 to 9999-12-31 23:59:59,
so consider what you plan on storing in that field before determining which type to use.

date stores just the date component i.e. YYYY-MM-DD (1000-00-01 to 9999-12-31).

timestamps doesn't take an argument, it's a shortcut to add the created_at and updated_at
timestamp fields to your database.
