Shen Kuo: A Great Scientist and UFO Explorer of the Song Dynasty

Shen Kuo, styled Cunzhong, was a renowned politician and scientist during the Northern Song Dynasty. Born in Qiantang, Zhejiang, he was an outstanding representative of the technological community in the Song Dynasty. His life was filled with a deep love and pursuit of science, especially in the fields of astronomy, geography, and physics, where he had a profound impact.

Shen Kuo's major works include "Mengxi Bitan" and "Changxing Ji". Among them, "Mengxi Bitan" is a comprehensive scientific work covering multiple fields such as astronomy, geography, physics, chemistry, medicine, and agriculture, demonstrating his remarkable talent in science and technology.

Discovery of UFO traces in his later years?

The claim that Shen Kuo discovered traces of alien flying saucers in his later years actually originated from a passage in the "History of the Song Dynasty". According to historical records, in 1074 AD, Shen Kuo observed a strange phenomenon in the area of today's Nanjing, Jiangsu: a circular object appeared in the sky, emitting dazzling light, moving slowly, and finally disappearing over the horizon.

This record has been interpreted by some as Shen Kuo discovering traces of UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects). However, this is only speculation, and there is no conclusive evidence that the circular object was an alien flying saucer.

Conclusion

Although it remains a mystery whether Shen Kuo really discovered UFOs in his later years, this does not detract from our admiration and respect for him. As an outstanding scientist, his contributions to the field of science and technology are undeniable. His spirit of exploration and courage to pursue truth deserve our learning and inheritance. Perhaps in future scientific explorations, we can uncover more unknown mysteries and add new chapters to the treasury of human knowledge.
