I don't ever recall hearing of 1615 as having had any predictive 
significance before.

Hmmm... a quick Google and... not much to report, sorry. :-(

Galileo was first denounced in 1615 (at the age of 70). Oh, and della Porta 
died in 1615 too.

Kepler published "New Stereometry of wine barrels" (about solids of 
revolution) then, while his mother was being accused of witchcraft (though 
charges against her were finally dropped in 1620).

Have I missed anything important? :-o
