Hey Downvoter, did you not get it or did you think it was not contributing? This is one of the most amazing little life patterns and I hoped that it had turned up, instead there are two far more complicated patterns that have much shorter runs.Try it!
I don't understand why they are using finite grids (probably efficiency reasons, but with the right data structures you could still implement it fast, see hash life).
As a side note, the links to a java applet to run through the patterns they found was a non starter for me, so I used http://secretgeek.net/gameoflife_.asp
