Oddities in the orbit of Mercury led to speculation about an inner planet perturbing it. This hypothetical planet was generally called "Vulcan". Eventually general relativity (by this guy named Einstein) explained the oddities in Mercury's orbit so Vulcan was not necessary any more. Asimov did a short essay once on the idea that Vulcan was "cast out" by a stone (ein stein) and tied this somehow to Greek mythology in a manner that I can't remember. But for once, it looks like SM got something right. Einstein proved that an inner planet (usually called Vulcan) didn't need to exist. -- We are geeks. Resistance is voltage over current.
