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?
I don't mine and am somewhat ignorant about the details. However I have seen a proposed network attack that was based on the ability of a miner to quickly create an "empty" block that could be accepted by the network. My understanding is that while they might make an empty block it is still highly unlikely for the attack to succeed.
