AMA: I'm Dave Greene, an Accidental Expert on Conway's Game of Life
I drifted into the Conway's Life research community in 2001 when I won a small cash prize for a lucky discovery of something called a "boojum reflector". My involvement has gradually snowballed since then. Off and on I've helped maintain various Life-related mailing lists and blogs, the Life Lexicon, and more recently the conwaylife.com forums and LifeWiki.
Another thing I stumbled into was helping Nathaniel Johnson complete an improbably thorough 480-page Conway's Life textbook, with end-of-chapter exercises and everything. The book could be used to teach a college-level class on the subject. https://conwaylife.com/book/ has a free PDF download for the book.
So... I'm not the cleverest Lifenthusiast by a long shot, but for a random question about the Game of Life, I'm more likely to know something about it than at least 99.9999% of the world's population. Ask me anything!

the math behind cellular automata
maybe first several chapters of CGoL book (pdf is free) can be of help, as they concentrate a bit more on theorems and not just pattern engineering

In Game of Life any buildable pattern can be constructed by colliding 15 gliders
* Download Golly https://golly.sourceforge.net/ and play around drawing random patterns. Have a look at the example patterns.
* Have a look around on the LifeWiki https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Main_Page. Click anything that looks interesting.
* Read the free online book https://conwaylife.com/book/
* Make an account on the forums https://conwaylife.com/forums/, or just lurk and see what people are talking about.

Where to start
You should definitely check out the official CGoL textbook - on the same site you'll also find the LifeWiki and links to download the Golly program

I'm Nathaniel Johnston, a math professor who co-wrote the first-ever introductory textbook about Conway's Game of Life. Ask me anything!
The book actually already has a CC license posted on its git repo, but we admittedly haven't made that clear on the main book website yet. We'll fix that up.
