“In outer space, the concept of the 24-hour day is irrelevant. Rather than seeing Bitcoin as the basis of an interstellar monetary system, think of the 10-minute block time as the basis of a new interstellar clock.”
Q: Why does Bitcoin have a 10 minute blocktime?
A: well first of all let us establish the speed of light and the diameter of the earth
10 minutes is roughly 100*(size of earth in light seconds, including losses). 10 minutes is in a certain sense a measurement of the size of the earth.
The factor of 100 was created by Satoshi to ensure two miners didn’t mine a block at the same time more than 1% of the time.
