Yes, gravity at the centre of the Earth is zero. Strictly speaking this is only true if there were no other stars and planets in the Universe but what's meant is that the force due to Earth specifically cancels at the centre (as everything is pulling you equally in all directions, leading to no force overall). If it suddenly became "infinity", that can occur...

like would there be some disaster or nothing will happen?
I am basically asking regarding the gravity..the effect on gravity due to shifting of poles

spath - you're showing us that you don't really understand what's going on. Read Jim's last post - he explains it very well (deserves best answer).

"if I ask some more questions relating gravity would you be able to answer them?"

Yes, but later on. Busy right now and probably for the rest of the day.

Even though it's considered a "weak" force, gravity basically binds everything in the known universe, from the micro to the macro.

Gravity keeps the earth rotating around the sun and the moon rotating around the earth. But this won't always be the case, at least, in the latter example. Because of the laser fired daily at reflectors placed on the moon by astronauts, we can detect that the moon is gradually moving further and further away from the earth at a rate of a couple of inches a year. This is gradually slowing down the rotation of the earth to the extent that 100 years from now the average day will be a couple of milliseconds shorter than it is now.

There really is a whole raft of information about all of this readily available on line. Just Google it!
