Why is (11,10)c/22 easier to find than 9c/10? Both seem to be past the 5c/6 horizon, but (11,10)c/22 is even closer to the speed limit than 9c/10. Because (11,10)c/22 is only close to the vacuum speed limit, whereas 9c/10o is close to the information speed limit. So for 9c/10o there's no way for in...

Since it seems as though Fano is down permanently (has been since late 2018), would it be possible to import the offline version of the glider database into Catagolue under some sort of pseudosymmetry for rules it applies to? The site also did some calculations to figure out if rules were capable o...

Are there any other known non-period-1 billiard table oscillators where the rotor is bounded by four diagonally connected line segments, opposite ends parallel and equal length, and the rotor makes direct contact with this bounding region without ever killing it? rle Here are two 5x7 ones I found t...

Just asking, can anyone search for a P3 strong dot sparker? Sadly, I believe it's all but confirmed by countless unsuccessful searches that those aren't actually possible. The closest I know of are caterer/jam and a few duoplet sparkers (the first row of jslife/o0003-spark.lif): x = 249, y = 60, ru...

Yeah, I can easily imagine a genie asking to clarify Spartan. "Do TWITs count? What about (random 17-bit still life that doesn't look like it has to do with anything)? Also, are goldbeetles fine?"

Reporting this as it is essentially a copy of my poll. Please just stop reporting posts — you clearly don't have a good enough sense of what needs mod attention and what will just anger mods further. I don't think you even recognize that excessive reports are a lot of what's caused this fiasco in t...

With all due respect, I don't think it's really our place to be making polls like this... these options seem like they're just things you came up with and foisted on the community without discussing anything first, whereas ideally we would need a clear consensus among both moderators and a large sub...

PR1: cross-purpose PR2: flying under the radar PR3: shouting fire in a crowded theatre - This one is a bit of a stretch, but it's really the only one that makes sense. PR4: sharp pain PR5: eyeball PR6: small potatoes - Dubious. I chose this based on the American expression, but it could also mean, ...

I view the free will theorem in the opposite way you do. You go, "If experimenters have free will to choose measurement bases, then the measured particles must have free will. Unacceptable!" whereas I go, "If particles don't have free will, then since not all their potential properties can simultan...

Hey everyone, if you're interested in Symbiosis and you haven't seen wwei's literally 32 edits above check them out.
