Speaking of the largest block. what is the smallest block with the least transactions within a year? I mean there has to be a block with maybe like 50 transactions right?
I don't know the answer, but I think one could create a block with no transactions. I think?

But I mean in "modern times" arent there transactions every millisecond? How could one be created with 0?
Sure, a miner could almost always include transactions in a block, but he doesn't have to include any transactions. He could simply produce the empty block. So, for whatever reasons, sometimes miners do just that.
