#Bitcoin, being tightly related to physical energy through its creation via mining, introduces an energy-like substance into the digital world.

In the same way that physics studies the transformation of energy and the patterns it creates in our Universe, I wonder if Bitcoin and its flows could serve as a basis to build "digital physics".

There is one particular structure in our Universe that has led to great complexity and abundance in our Universe: a star. By radiating energy to its surroundings, our own star permitted the flourishing of life and civilization on earth.

The idea I would like to discuss with anyone interested is the following: could we create a "Satoshi star" in digital space? A lightning wallet that "radiates" small amounts of sats to random wallets, with an adjustable emission rate such that it would shine for years and years to come, and provide abundance for future digital dwellers?

Feel free to comment and share your view! Here are some questions I'm trying to answer myself:

1. How can we create such a structure so its not controlled by anyone? (Smart contract on lightning?)

2. How do we avoid spamming of wallets created just to farm the Satoshi star? ( Star sends sats to random wallets with at least a minimum amount of sats?)

3. Is it a problem if the star radiates sats to "dead wallets" and we lose those sats forever?
