Bro to us yes it is the center of the Earth

But to science the center lies in the core of the Earth

I have heard many times that the Kaaba is at the center of the world. Can somebody explain it more accurately?

I tested this and I don't think it's true.

It was said that jeruslem was the centre of the world...even when in prophet mohammeds (peace be upon him) vison he was taken to jereuslem and then asscended upwards to heaven...

allah knows where the true centre is..

How can the world have a centre on the surface? It's a sphere!

That's not true, the Greeks drew at least part of the world map, and probably plenty of people before them did too.

And the centre of most Western world maps is somewhere off the coast of west Africa.

يَوْمَ يَكُونُ النَّاسُ كَالْفَرَاشِ الْمَبْثُوثِ
وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ الْمَنفُوشِ
this is a hypothesis: if you consider kaba as center of the world, and the fact that earth rotates on its Center (Axis) and on the doomsday (Qayama) Kaba will be lifted to heavens!! above situation can be created. Allah knows the best!

The rocks of the Kaaba are also not the oldest on Earth. They are somewhere in Greenland. The basalt of the Kaaba is actually quite young.

But it is true that as far as we know, Makkah has always been above sea level. See here for a source.
