My hypothesis is that a fire took place due to a component source of energy bring an ignitable material. This is a hypothesis without any physical evidence. I support this hypothesis by using my education, training, and experience, but nothing from the actual scene. Now after an investigation of the scene I have not been able to identify the specific source of energy that caused ignition. Considering this I still reach the hypothesis that there was a component source of energy that caused the ignition of this fire. Do I have a valid hypothesis?
