A(islptng): It was constructed using just... itself.

This would be considered a correct answer, as the waterbear is a self-supporting structure.

Q: How many gliders can fit into a square of side length 3.877084?

A: 9.

Q: What happens when particles and antiparticles (a spaceship and its inverse) in Day&Night collide?

Q: How many gliders can fit into a square of side length 3.877084?

A: 9.

Q: What happens when particles and antiparticles (a spaceship and its inverse) in Day&Night collide?

A: Energy is released, because e=mc^2

Q: What is the difference between false and true vacuum?

Q: Will this thread get locked before a glider synthesis of the Digestive System is found?

[PK22]

Q: Will this thread get locked before a glider synthesis of the Digestive System is found?

A: Yes, since the only possible way to synthesise the Digestive System (as proven by LLLLLLLSSSSSSSSSSS) requires a Digestive System:

Code: Select all

x = 20, y = 14, rule = B3/S23

Q: The first natural glider was observed in 1969. When was the last natural glider observed?

A: 2071, after cgol 2 is made by tommyaweosme, d-engine, and conglasses

Q: what happens when you put cgol objects in water?

[unname4798]

A: The realities suddenly shift, spatial dimensions mix together, causing paradoxes and chaotic (entropy more than today's algorithms and beyond) systems to appear.

A: yes, gliders can synthesize x_time
Q: what happens when you set the t's from travelling t's on fire.

(i have a game called sand:box with a conway's game of life feature. spawning it in water makes it "conquer" the water.)

[PK22]

Q: what happens when you set the t's from travelling t's on fire.

A: You can't - the Travelling T is fireproof. This explains why they survived the incident of 2013, while gliders became extinct.
See below - it cannot be ignited.

Q: What caused the glider to become extinct in the wild in early 2013?

[Resu]

Q: What caused the glider to become extinct in the wild in early 2013?

A: It was caused by the great sparker infestation of 2013, which caused the deaths of thousands of spaceships.

A: In how many life-like rules did the glider go extinct?

[PK22]

A: In many life-like rules did the glider go extinct?

A: Out of the 256 Life-like rules with suitable natural resources to support gliders, they went extinct in 248 due to the ecosystem being set ablaze, and competition with the loafer, a new apex predator unintentionally released into the wild in February 2013, wiped out gliders in 4 more rules, for a total of 252 extinctions.
Since HighLife is hostile to loafers, gliders can be found there, but the replicators mean that gliders may not survive long.

Code: Select all

x = 42, y = 12, rule = B36/S23

Q: (Shifting the topic away from glider extinction) If a UCC in a Sparse Life universe becomes self-aware, what should you do?

[hotcrystal0]

Q: (Shifting the topic away from glider extinction) If a UCC in a Sparse Life universe becomes self-aware, what should you do?

A: You should let the CA universe continue to run. It wouldn’t be happy if you reset.

Q: What’s the difference between CA and OotT?

A: One has contributors called d/dx, wwei47, and hotcrystal0, while the other has contributors called wind7, xp2, and hc0.

Q: How many gliders are needed to synthesize 84P199?

A: 84+199=283, divided by the glider constant is 97 (a classic example), so clearly 97 gliders are needed to synthesize 84P199
Q: how many gliders are needed to synthesize the result of the A01Z26 conversion of "where is hidden tinley in my sandbox thread" in digits?

[PK22]

Q: how many gliders are needed to synthesize the result of the A01Z26 conversion of "where is hidden tinley in my sandbox thread" in digits?

A: 4, obviously - RCT4 can construct anything and everything in 4 gliders, but you cannot use it right now as it is creating the first exponential growth pattern.

Q: What still lifes are in danger of becoming extinct in the wild, and why?

[ThePlayzr]

Q: What still lifes are in danger of becoming extinct in the wild, and why?

A: The block as it spawns very rarely, and is very big, meaning it gets destroyed often. Below is an example of the very rare creation of a block.

How many gliders do you need to synthesize the spider?

A: The issue is that the spider has been proven to only have invalid glider synthesises: no valid glider synthesis is possible.

Q: When was the second Natural Glider found?

[PK22]

Q: When was the second Natural Glider found?

A: It was found in February 2013 - only two natural gliders were ever observed before the catastrophe of March 2013.
However, numerous artificial gliders have been observed under laboratory conditions.

Q: What's the smallest rep in Life?

A: The bipole, which is a representative for oscillators on Catagolue.

Q: What is the largest still life that can perform a boat-bit catalysis?

A: Unsurprisingly, the boat is the only still life capable of that catalysis.

A: What is the largest pattern in Life?

A: Unsurprisingly, the boat is the only still life capable of that catalysis.

A: What is the largest pattern in Life?

[s]since two answers were provided, im going to provide a question[/s]
A: the largest pattern in life is the Y-R-O-C converter, which converts Y pentominoes to C pentominoes by first converting Y pentomino to a rock R, then turning it into an oscillator O, which when hassled turns into a C pentomino.
