Can a latent image explain the characteristics of the Shroud body image?
Giovanni Fazio, GIUSEPPE MANDAGLIO · Radiation effects and defects in solids · 2011
The distribution of the fibrils that have yielded the body image on the Shroud is stochastic. In this paper, we show that the hypothesis of latent image can explain the chemical and physical characteristics of the above body image. It is also concluded that the “Shroud question” requires new radiocarbon dating done on a sample selected after careful chemical analysis.
