Parsec - a unit of distance.  I take for my source Azimov's "I, Robot"
Liar.  Note the dial in the hyperdrive ship (0 to 1 million parsecs).
On the first trip, note the dial, 30,000 parsecs and the comment that
they must now be out of the galaxy.  The story was written over 30
years ago ( maybe 40).  When the technicians returned from their trip,
the dial was again on 0.  Who, in his right mind, would challange
Azimov?:-)
