Chapter 4 and 5

"Earthlings must be the terrors of the Universe! If other planets aren't now in danger frome Earth they soon will be. So tell me the secret to so I may take it back to Earth and save us all: How can a planet live at peace?"pg 148.
1) I picked this quote because I think that that question is on a lot of peoples minds and that some of us ask this question every day thinking that there is a solution to it. But this explains how there is no solutions there is no solution to world wars and not living in peace it will always be there, because it has already happened.
2) I think its signifigance is just the fact that there is not solution to things, you just have to live by them because they have already happened. But if the solution has already happened then it will fix itself. The Tralfamadorians are just trying to explain to Billy that you cant change some thing that has alredy happened.
3)Similar ideas i think is the same way that the Tralfamadorians explain how there is no such thing as free will in Tralfamadore and there is nothing you can do to chagne it.
