Is world peace possible? If so, how?

The leviathan of threat that hangs over all military powers. Someone needs to invent a weapon that cannot be countered, stolen or copied. In this manner, world peace is a paradox.

At least what I've gleaned from my international relations studies. Throughout history you can have periods of cooperation and periods of competition, but these tend to be a cycle with no definite end. To actually get world peace I would think it has to be what I said above, or some kind of tangible external threat (aliens or some sh*t) to actually get total peace between nations with no incentive to defect.
