What was not one of Shen Kuo's inventions?
Armillary sphere
Sighting tube
Camera obscura
Rocketry
Answer
Contrary to the answer provided, Rocketry was indeed one of Shen Kuo's notable inventions. He described the recipe of gunpowder and its military application. As one of the earliest forms of solid-propellant rockets, Shen's invention laid the foundation for modern rocketry. Therefore, Rocketry cannot be considered as one of his non-inventions.
