Tralfamadorians

Tralfamadorians are fictional extraterrestrial beings from Kurt Vonnegut’s novel *Slaughterhouse-Five*. They perceive time non-linearly, experiencing all moments simultaneously rather than sequentially. This perspective allows them to see a person's life as a collection of moments—good or bad—that co-exist eternally. They focus on these positive moments and ignore the others, advocating a philosophy of acceptance. Their understanding of time challenges human notions of past, present, and future, emphasizing that all moments exist simultaneously and are unchangeable. Tralfamadorians symbolize a detachment from conventional human views of mortality and causality.
