Well, I wouldn't quite say "never". Suppose somebody found a "nanoid", i.e. a reaction between a glider (or some other small spaceship) and a smallish still life or oscillator that reflected the glider 180°, with the glider and the still life / oscillator both translated the same number of cells at a 90° angle to the glider's trajectory. By having the glider bounce between two such oscillators, one could produce a family of arbitrarily slow spaceships with a very small population count; possibly even small enough that someone could enumerate the slowest possible spaceships for all lower populations.dvgrn wrote:Well, yes, for small N these do exist, of course. But there's not ever going to be a discoverable algorithm where you input N and get back the relevant slowest possible spaceship.Saka wrote:Is there a slowest possible spaceship for n cells?

Just to clarify, by "overunity reaction" you mean a reaction that creates more than two gliders and nothing else?danny wrote:Challenge: Find a rule as close to CGOL that
a) retains the glider
b) has an overunity reaction from only 2G's
"Over-unity" by itself doesn't necessarily imply a completely clean reaction -- at least according to the current Lexicon definition, but I think I rewrote that myself recently so it might be wrong.77topaz wrote:Just to clarify, by "overunity reaction" you mean a reaction that creates more than two gliders and nothing else?danny wrote:Challenge: Find a rule as close to CGOL that
