On the blog: The Golden Mile Conversion
"Historically, we had measured the world against ourselves — the foot, the cubit, the distance one could plough or march — but were moving to measure ourselves against the world and beyond— the nautical mile, the kilometre, the distance from the Sun to the Earth. In this reframing, we are fractions of the world rather than the world being multiples of us."
