- ... that all currently known standard Herschel conduits produce the same Herschel great-grandfather pattern, except for Fx158?
- ... that eater 1 is the smallest asymmetric still life?
- ... that in Life, no spaceship can exist with a speed of (m, n)c/x where (m + n)/x > 0.5?
- ... that even without using fixed-cost reverse caber tosser technology, an N-bit strict still life – specifically, some length of long long (...) boat or ship – can be constructed for any odd integer N using no more than 17 gliders, and for any even integer N using no more than 18 gliders, using a temporary tubstretcher?
- ... that even without using fixed-cost reverse caber tosser technology, some specific N-bit period-2 oscillators can be constructed for any even integer N using no more than 24 gliders, and for any odd integer N using no more than 26 gliders, using a temporary tubstretcher?
- ... that in 2022, a still life was found containing a finite region whose only predecessor is itself?
- ... that it was proved in the early 1970s that reflectorless rotating oscillators exist in Life, but none were found until 2018 when Adam P. Goucher completed the 0E0P metacell, and none could be run through a full cycle without specialized hardware until smaller ones were constructed in 2021?
- ... that there are currently known elementary spaceships with speeds c/7 and c/10 orthogonal, but none with c/8 or c/9?
- ... that there are currently known elementary spaceships with speeds c/7, c/8, and c/12 diagonal, but none with c/9, c/10 or c/11?
- ... that Karel's p177 is the highest-period known elementary oscillator with no external support?
