When Cellular Automata Come to Life (w / video)

When Cellular Automata Come to Life (w / video) | Science News | Scoop.it

Cellular automata are probably the closest things to machine life that most people have gotten an opportunity to experiment with in recent years. John Conway invented a piece of software titled the Game of Life in 1970. He carefully set up the rules to create a balanced world. While this might sound like old news, it has allowed scientists to actually simulate certain real world systems.
