Egyptian Researcher Dr. Abd Al-Baset Al-Sayyed Explains the science behind His Demand to Abolish Greenwich Mean Time and Replace It with Mecca Time

Following are excerpts from an interview with Abd Al-Baset Al-Sayyid, of the Egyptian National Research Center. The interview was aired on Mihwar TV on December 26, 2006.

Abd Al-Baset Al-Sayyid: When British colonialism or the British kingdom were in control, and it was "an empire on which the sun never sets," it imposed Greenwich Mean Time. This creates two problems for the world. The first problem is that in Greenwich, the magnetic field of Earth is 8.5 degrees, whereas in Mecca the magnetic field is zero.
