- Someone 11y agoAt speed c/10, "one tenth of a cell in each iteration", or, better said: after ten iterations, the pattern has moved one cell, but is otherwise unchanged. That's why it is called a glider; it glides through the grid (a puffer stays at its location and returns to its original snape after some time, but periodically sends out gliders) What's new here, apparently, is that this is the first glider discovered with that speed. It also is surprisingly small.
