I thought #Bitcoin time (counted in blocks) was separate from world time (counted in minutes, etc). Is the world time recorded in the blocks? If not, surely all blocks are one “tick-tock next block” apart.
Now, maybe somebody is keeping a record of when blocks are mined but how can we verify, rather than simply trust that data?
