Answer

Invented by British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970, the Game of Life is a cellular automaton that evolves on a two-dimensional grid. Each cell can be either alive or dead, and its fate is determined by the number of its neighboring cells that are alive. The game's simple rules can lead to complex patterns and behavior, making it a popular subject of study in mathematics, computer science, and biology.
