Professor is a 46-bit still life consisting of two large islands (resembling a long⁴ symmetric scorpion, sans the "stingers") partially stabilizing each other and further stabilized by two blocks acting as induction coils.
The cis-mirrored variant of this still life occured naturally from an asymmetric soup in July 2016, making it the second largest still life in terms of cell population to have occurred naturally (its title was taken in August 2016 by cloverleaf interchange).
Variants
A number of variants are possible, depending on the alignment of the two halves and the position of the blocks:
-
cis-mirrored professor -
trans-mirrored professor -
shift-mirrored professor -
cis-rotated professor -
trans-rotated professor
