Unfortunately, there was no evidence at the time to support this hypothesis. With a few improvements, Galileo next turned his telescope to Jupiter? and what he found was nothing short of heretical.

? In 1666, fire truly exposed itself as a double-edged sword when the Great Fire of London burnt down more than 90 churches and 13,000 houses, and more than 100,000 people were brought down to their knees with no place to call home. The destructive power of fire brought about a cleansing, and this devastation gave birth to one of the most enlightening periods in history, fueling the Industrial Revolution.
