چکیده

As a scientist and one of the members of STURP who went to Turin in 1978, I found The Resurrection of the Shroud by Mark Antonacci (M. Evans and Co., Inc. New York, NY, 2000) to be one of the most remarkable books I have read on the subject. I should state that my perspective is primarily that of a scientist, and I will not review some aspects of studies on the Shroud that are mentioned in the book and are favorites of other workers. I will confine my comments to an analysis of the book's "science" vis-à-vis STURP's scientific observations and the generally accepted laws of chemistry and physics.

Testing the Jackson "theory" of Image Formation

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 imag...
