Drop your predictions here.

- CGOL will have a period 41 oscillator by the next year.
- B2-ac3i/S12 will be proven omniperiodic before 2018.

I doubt that, though. Are spaceships even possible in Longlife?

-We will get a knightship in CGoL by 2040
-A 50c ship will be found in LTL by 2019, assuming people keep exploring
-A new speed will be discovered by 2019
-Someone will make an LTL sesrch program by the end of this year

- By 2020, the engineered (27,1)c/72 spaceship will be completed.

- By 2025, either the (13,1)c/31 or (34,7)c/156 spaceship will be completed.

- By 2030, an elementary orthogonal ship of one or more of speeds c/11, 2c/11, 3c/11, 4c/11, 5c/11, c/12 or 5c/12 will be found.

- By 2040, an elementary reflectorless rotating oscillator will be found, loopable or not, regardless of size.

- By 2050, an elementary orthogonal ship of one or more of speeds c/13, 2c/13, 3c/13, 4c/13, 5c/13, 6c/13, c/14, 3c/14 or 5c/14 will be found.

- By 2062, I'll be dead.

- By 2065, an elementary replicator, either linear or quadratic, will be found.

- By 2070, a group of microscopic true-period engineerable spaceships (like the families in the mashup pack I made) will be discovered, although their top speed will be somewhat slower, like c/37 or c/2945.

- By 3008, we might have a knightship.

1. The next elementary spaceship speed is 3c/8.
Then 2c/9.
Then 4c/9.
2. The next oscillator period is 38.
Then 19.
Then 34.
3. No 1xn spaceships will be discovered until year 2021.
4. A 58p5h1v1-like c/6 diagonal spaceship will be found before 2021-3-15, which supports a glider-circulating puffer, i.e. copies of the ship and a glider, where the glider hits the c/6 from the back again and again.

By 2020 the Demonoid in LeapLife will be completed.

By 2021 a c/7 in LeapLife will be discovered.

Correct predictions:

- A new speed will be discovered by 2019
muzik wrote: - By 3008, we might have a knightship.
Wrong predictions:

Saka wrote: - Nc/7 will get more ships by 2018
muzik wrote: - One of these orthrogonal speeds will be found before 2020:

There are some not mentioned. Either because I don't know, or nobody knows.

By January 1, 2021, none of the "by 2020" predictions will be proven right except for ones deliberately posted to falsify this one.
Any sufficiently advanced software is indistinguishable from malice.

By 2040, it will be shown that the way we perceive our universe is statistically no different from the way a typical conscious observer that emerges from an infinitely dilute and infinitely large GoL soup will perceive their universe. In other words, the universe as we know it can be explained as being simulated from an infinitely dilute and infinitely large GoL soup.

Hey, it is 2022 now and one of the predictions has become true! (44P38)

At this time, spaceship searching for new speeds is facing big obstacles, but non-prime-period oscillator searching goes pretty well and we even have a couple of new glider guns. Better yet is the solution for unique father problem! So my new predictions for CGoL:

By the end of 2022 a period-7 (3,0)c/7 glider backrake will be found.
By the end of 2022 the collection of glider syntheses for every 21-cell still life will be completed, where the most expensive construction takes below 100 gliders. Similarly, by the end of 2023 still life reduction goals including 14-in-9, 16-in-13 and 18-in-17 will be achieved. (Dare to try 9-in-4?)
By the end of 2025 either a new knightwise speed of the form (2,1)c/p, or a new orthogonal speed will be discovered.
By the end of 2030 either a stable, reusable 2c/3 signal elbow, or an elementary color-changing 90-degree glider reflector will be discovered.

Between November 8th, 2023 and March 12th, 2024, you'll find the unsimplified (2,1) c / 7.

Wong. You will find them April first this year. And the it will disappear for 364 days.
