Q: Can gliders synthesize time?
A: You can't - the Travelling T is fireproof. This explains why they survived the incident of 2013, while gliders became extinct.tommyaweosme wrote: July 16th, 2025, 1:11 pm Q: what happens when you set the t's from travelling t's on fire.

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.

A: You should let the CA universe continue to run. It wouldn’t be happy if you reset.PK22 wrote: July 16th, 2025, 3:38 pm Q: (Shifting the topic away from glider extinction) If a UCC in a Sparse Life universe becomes self-aware, what should you do?
A: One has contributors called d/dx, wwei47, and hotcrystal0, while the other has contributors called wind7, xp2, and hc0.
A: 84+199=283, divided by the glider constant is 97 (a classic example), so clearly 97 gliders are needed to synthesize 84P199hotcrystal0 wrote: July 16th, 2025, 3:42 pmA: You should let the CA universe continue to run.

Q: How many gliders are needed to synthesize 84P199?
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.tommyaweosme wrote: July 16th, 2025, 3:48 pm 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?
