I am a fan of NYT Science stories, but it always baffles me when “yards” and “miles” are used instead of SI units. It’s the science page, you should consider promoting modern measurement units. Sincerely, a fan.

That thing should not be moved. Build a dedicated park around it. That goes for all the pyramids and monuments there as well.
