Why does fire in any form blows upwards and not downwards?
According to the theory of Air, Earth, Fire and Water (the four elements) each element has its natural place in the universe. Since the Earth is at the center of the universe all elements arrange themselves in relationship to the center of the Earth. The heaviest element is earth which occupies the lowest point. The next heaviest element is water which is above earth. That explains why rivers run down to the sea and why rocks sink. The next heavy element is air which is above water. That is why rain falls out of the air and why bubbles come to the surface of water. The lightest element is fire which is mostly in the heavens like the sun and the moon.. That is why fire always goes up. It is seeking its natural place in the universe…
