    Good quote from Star Wars, Carlos in Detroit. It was one of the most egregious examples of what happens when you try to do science fiction without the science. The parsec (parallax of one arcsecond; symbol: pc) is a unit of length, equal to just under 31 trillion kilometres (about 19 trillion miles), or about 3.26 light-years, not a unit of time.

    Not only that, Shiek, but since the parallax is measured according to the orbit of the planet of the observer, the length of a parsec is different for each planet.

    3.26 light years is the distance at which an object (usually a star) appears to shift against the background one second of arc when the Earth is at opposite extremes of its orbit. Since Mars has a larger orbit, the shift is greater; hence a parsec as measured from Mars would be much shorter; from Venus or Mercury, much larger.

    What’s really funny is Charley thinking he could hold Louie back.

    Good Morning Crew!

    (See we can all correct these errors, unless of course you were making a sly reference to the time warp principles involved in the unevolved version of “Black Hole”…Help, it’s infectious.)
