I got something interesting!!

Look at this beautifull mandala :
x = 72, y = 72, rule = B3/S23

If we allow infinite growth pattern as methuselah and just restrict ourself to the 20x20 box, then we might engineer a methuselah which uses this ark idea.
I don't have very nice examples - but I mean something like this (just with higher lifespan):
x = 20, y = 20, rule = B3/S23

I should do something about that old blog! For one thing, I didn't quite understand what a blog is supposed to be, so it's really just a website on which I've plonked various patterns. Maybe I should repost them on ConwayLife. TDiff's pattern is interesting in that the backward stream of gliders ...

OMG GUYS!

I just found a crasy thing.
A methuselah that lives for more than 2 MILLION GENERATIONS without being stable!!
