'''Block''' is an extremely well-known and common [[still life]] that was found by [[John Conway]] in [[:Category:Patterns found in 1970|1970]]. In terms of its [[:Category:Strict still lifes with 4 cells|4]] [[cell]]s it is tied with [[tub]] as the smallest still life, and in terms of its 2×2 [[bounding box]] it is the outright smallest. It is also the only known still life that is a [[Polyomino|polyomino]].

Due to its small size, its ability to act as an [[eater]], and its simple [[glider synthesis|glider syntheses]], it is extremely useful in the construction of large patterns. It can be used as an [[induction coil]] as in [[block and dock]], [[block on table]] and [[griddle and block]].
A game invented in October 2009 at First Flight High School where participants use the word appletart or some of its variants. Originally it was focused on who could say it the loudest but has evolved over time. The ways to play include: 1. Who can say appletart the loudest? 2. Who can say appletart the most in a game? 3. Who will say appletart last? 4. Who will day appletart in the funniest or most awkward situations? 5. What word will be matched when someone says appletart? Will it be appletart, applepie, poptart, or something else?1. kid 1: Appletart. kid 2: Appletart! kid 1: APPLETART!

It is also the most common still life that occurs as a result of [[soup|random starting patterns]], occurring almost twice as often as [[beehive]], the next most common still life.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://wwwhomes.uni-bielefeld.de/achim/freq_top_life.html |title=Most seen natural occurring ash objects in Game of Life |author=Achim Flammenkamp |date=September 7, 2004 |accessdate=January 15, 2009}}</ref>
 
The block was one of the patterns described in the original 1970 article by [[Martin Gardner]] that introduced the [[Conway's Game of Life|Game of Life]] to the world.
