This speaks directly to world view.
Muslim scientists and clerics have called for the adoption of Mecca time to replace GMT, arguing that the Saudi city is the true centre of the Earth.The thinking goes that
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.The Kansas Citian notes:
The meeting also reviewed what has been described as a Mecca watch, the brainchild of a French Muslim. The watch is said to rotate anti-clockwise and is supposed to help Muslims determine the direction of Mecca from any point on Earth.
It's unclear how the Flat Earth Society will respond to this new center of the Earth theory.
