One geologist argued that unlike other longitudes, Mecca's was in perfect alignment to magnetic north.

I'm pretty sure magnetic north is constantly shifting :rolleyes:

Far too sensational to be taken seriously. Next thread...

A prominent cleric, Sheikh Youssef al-Qaradawy, said modern science had at last provided evidence that Mecca was the true centre of the Earth

last time i checked, it was on the surface, not in the middle.

Stop, Mecca Time.

Why would a prominent cleric know stuff about science? That would be like Stephen Hawking saying he knows the best way for Muslims to pray.

He said the English had imposed GMT on the rest of the world by force when Britain was a big colonial power, and it was about time that changed.

Hmmmm.

Also, seeing as we effectively developed the first means to measure longitute, I think that gives us the perfect right to set out timezones starting at Greenwich.
