Going back a thousand years, Shen Kuo, astronomer and physicist charted stars, studied magnetism and made the first compass. A contemporary of Shen Kuo were astronomers Su Song and Wei Pu. 1000 years before that there were Chinese engineers and astronomers such as Zu Chongzhi[B], [/B]Zhang Heng, Zhang Sixun.
