Dec 5, 2023 · At the turn of the millennium, only twelve oscillator periods remained to be found in Conway's Game of Life. The search has finally ended, with the discovery of oscillators having the final two periods, 19 and 41, proving that Life is omniperiodic.
Dec 13, 2023 · Back in 1970, the mathematician John Conway created a game with no players that evolves entirely from its initial state. The game is set in a kind of computational universe called a cellular automaton.
Conway’s Game of Life is a cellular automaton occurring on an infinite plane of square grid cells, each of which is in one of two states: alive or dead. The neighbourhood of a cell is the 8 cells that are connected orthogonally or diagonally to it.
Jan 18, 2024 · John Conway’s Game of Life, a famous cellular automaton, has been found to have periodic patterns of every possible length. This pattern in the Game of Life repeats itself after 41 steps. Its recent discovery ends a decades-long quest to show that Life is omniperiodic. DVDP for Quanta Magazine.

Dec 5, 2023 · In a groundbreaking discovery, Nico Brown, Carson Cheng, Tanner Jacobi, Maia Karpovich, Matthias Merzenich, David Raucci, and Mitchell Riley have proven that Conway's Game of Life is omniperiodic by finding oscillators with periods 19 and 41.
Yesterday, Nico Brown has discovered a pattern with period 41, effectively answer a 50-year-long question: Life is indeed omniperiodic, meaning that oscillators of any period are possible. You can find an updated list of oscillators here!
