Distributed Consensus
When Satoshi Nakamoto came up with the PoW consensus, he didnt mean to further the research on distributed consensus done by the scholars. People intend to consider that his PoW consensus provides a solution for distributed consensus in Byzantine environment, giving it an academic perspective, and we start to connect them together.
Speaking of the distributed consensus, we have to include "FLP impossible" theorem in our discussion. "FLP impossible" theorem is come up with and proven by three scientists, Fischer, Lynch and Patterson, in their paper "Impossibility of Distributed Consensus with One Faulty Process in 1985. The theorem concludes that there is no deterministic consensus algorithm that can solve the consistency problem in a minimum asynchronous model system that is reliable in the network but allows node failure (even if there is only one). The revelation of this theorem is that the technically workable distributed consensus must be compromised in some respects.

Also, try to add some discussion with the knowledged you have, don't just throw a wall of text here..
