With computer software we can plot the relative lighter and darker areas seen in
the images and produce three-dimensional isometric drawings of the body. With
computerized virtual reality we can view the body from different angles. We can
see the slope of the nose, the recesses of the eye sockets and the shape of the
torso.
It seems that the images are graphic representation of the distance
between any part of the body and the cloth.

The
scientific study of the Turin shroud is like a microcosm of the
scientific search for God: it does more to inflame any debate than
settle it.”
And yet, the shroud is a remarkable artefact, one of the few religious
relics to have a justifiably mythical status.
It is
simply not known how the ghostly image of a serene, bearded man was
made.”
Scientist-Journalist Philip Ball
Nature, January 2005
Nature, that most prestigious of scientific journals, that once had
bragging rights to claim that the Shroud was fake, responding to new,
peer-reviewed studies that discredit the carbon 14 dating and show that
the Shroud could be authentic.
WHAT WE KNOW IN 2005
- The Shroud of Turin is certainly
much older than the now discredited radiocarbon date of 1260-1390.
It is at least twice as old and it could be 2000
years old.
FACTS
- Though no one knows how
it was made, the image is a selective caramel-like darkening of an otherwise
clear coating of starch fractions and various saccharides.
FACTS
- The blood is real blood.
FACTS
- Much of what we think we see in the
image is an optical illusion.
