Page 110 "Billy Pilgrim says that the universe does no look like a lot of bright little dots to the creatures from Tralfamadore. The creatures can see where each star has been and where it is going, so that the heavens are filled with rarefiled, luminoous spagetti. And tralfimadorians don't see humas as two-legged creatures, either. They see them as great millipedes-"with babies legs at one end and old people's legs at the other," says Billy Pilgrim."
1. I chose this quote because it really shows the tralfimadorian's ability to see time and understand the fourth dimension.
2. This quote is important in the novel because the tralfamadorian's ability to see time is essential in the novel and it is the whole reason why Billy is unstuck.
3. I have not heard or read of any thing like this outside of this novel.
