Mangos apparently now do FTL travel?

It is impossible to travel faster than light, even your example is below that speed; but fastest spaceships travels at c/2, and that is faster (5/6 c or something):

The only way to have anything moving faster than light, is to have signals sent in opposite directions, and the receivers get information about what the other receiver gets in "real time" so one can argue that information travelled faster than light, with infinite speed, but really that's is not factually correct, since the actual information traveled from the middle at lightspeed or lower. I mean, the update rule of Conway's game of life is very much guarantying this, so that should not be a surprise, and the "telegraph" is the one pattern that manage to propagate information at the best possible speed here.

It's an illusion.

[hotdogPi]

What Jormungant is saying is that even the "illusion" doesn't travel above c.

[HerscheltheHerschel]

What Jormungant is saying is that even the "illusion" doesn't travel above c.

Then at what speed?

[EvinZL]

It travels at 5c/6. This is not an illusion because it can be used to transmit information at that speed:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 19, rule = B3/S23
2b2o$bo2bo$o2bo$b2o2$bo$obo$bobo$2bo2$2bo$bobo$obo$bo2$bo$obo$bobo$2b

And it will probably be useful. Idk why I posted it in useless discoveries right before thinking something useful can probably be made from it.

[johamwit]

It travels at 5c/6. This is not an illusion because it can be used to transmit information at that speed:

This is faster, and - as all fuses - can transmit "information" only once: "I was here"

It could be fun to find a higher-range rule that is "almost Life" (almost all objects and contraptions would work unchanged), but there were some highly unnatural circumstances where a cell could directly affect another non-adjacent cell, allowing for "faster-than-light communication".

did not find a catalyst that removes the bottom hive cleanly (the usual eater works, but later on it is too close from the active object), so I guess the two best thing would be a factory that restore a sacrificial block/hive, but I did not mange to find one for that too.
