👀What is the maximum block time of a single Blockchain?

Considering the premise of sufficient decentralization (where all participating nodes can fully transmit and package transactions from anywhere).
According to the network latency times of the 5 continents, 50-300ms( in ideal conditions), and the transaction validation time (assuming ~5ms/tx)

Let ChatGPT do a mathematical modeling, with parameters including:
1. The broadcast delay between nodes. This refers to the process of a transaction being uploaded from a single node to be accepted by all nodes in the network.
2. Transaction Execution and Verification Delays. That is, the legitimacy of the transaction is verified between nodes from the initiation of the construction to the verification of the transaction.
(ps: Not considering any consensus, whether it is pos or pow)

The block time provided by GPT is shown in the figure.
Although the actual situation falls far short of the illustrated standards.
