Testing the Jackson "theory" of Image Formation
نویسنده
چکیده
John Jackson has claimed that the only way all of the features observed on the Shroud of Turin could have been formed would involve the body becoming "mechanically transparent" concomitant with the appearance of a flux of vacuum-ultraviolet photons. The photons would produce the image as the cloth fell through the volume previously occupied by the body. This would explain the appearance of image on the back side of the cloth and the appearance of bones and teeth in the image. The "theory" is offered as proof of a miraculous resurrection. Unfortunately, the "theory" completely ignores some important contradictions and some important laws of nature.

Comments on Rogers’ “Testing the Jackson ‘Theory’ of Image Formation”
In 1990, one of us (Jackson) offered a hypothesis as an attempt to explain simultaneously all observations regarding the Shroud image (Ref 1). This hypothesis was ventured only after a systematic study of alternatives had failed to account for various image characteristics (Ref 2) and, though unconventional, this hypothesis makes a variety of testable predictions that are a-priori falsifiable b...

متن کاملImproving security of double random phase encoding with chaos theory using fractal images
This study presents a new method based on the combination of cryptography and information hiding methods. Firstly, the image is encoded by the Double Random Phase Encoding (DRPE) technique. The real and imaginary parts of the encoded image are subsequently embedded into an enlarged normalized host image. DRPE demands two random phase mask keys to decode the decrypted image at the destination. T...
