Since the TS exhibits a photographic negative effect and vapours, dyes, paint, powders and stains are all ruled out, another theory is it is some sort of proto-photograph. This is proposed by Nicholas Allen. A comparison between the 1978 Shroud of Turin Research Project (STURP) data concerning the qualities of image formation on the Shroud …
Another theory on the image formation is corona discharge/electrostatic discharge. Guilio Fanti is a proponent of this. After a presentation of the main points regarding CD (Corona Discharge), and the definition of the hypotheses regarding the assumed model, some new evidence is presented and discussed here, such as the exsiccation of limited parts of linen …
Ray Rogers theorized the image is the result of a Maillard reaction. Raymond N. Rogers and Anna Arnoldi, in a joint paper of 2003 proposed that amines from a recently deceased human body may have undergone Maillard reactions with this carbohydrate layer within a reasonable period of time, before liquid decomposition products stained or damaged …
Diogenes wrote: ↑Sat Jun 10, 2023 11:02 am In essence, to an objective eye, the image looks like art, not a death mask. No, it doesn’t even look like art, even to “objective eyes”. If it looks like art, why is there practically zilch from the art community on the TS? Do they not have “objective eyes”? …
Any theory that involves a work of an artist is not really tenable. As I’ve argued in my summary argument, there are many points against it being any type of artwork. If any imaging technique that is proposed that involves the work of an artist, my summary argument must be refuted. I’ve also addressed the following …
Even though body teleportation is currently science fiction, the idea is not so far-fetched. Today, quantum teleportation is a reality. Quantum teleportation is a technique for transferring quantum information from a sender at one location to a receiver some distance away. While teleportation is commonly portrayed in science fiction as a means to transfer physical …

The closest anyone so far has done to produce a discoloring of linen fiber is through ultraviolet radiation. This supports Jackson’s theory that some sort of radiation was involved. In the early 2000s the Excimer Laboratory at the Research Centre ENEA Frascati had laser sources emitting radiation pulses in both near ultraviolet and far ultraviolet, …
The cloth collapse theory is proposed by the head of STURP, John Jackson. Russ Brealt’s interview with John Jackson on his theory of image formation: Paper describing the cloth collapse theory: https://www.shroud.com/pdfs/ssi34part3.pdf Here’s the sequence of steps: 1. The body was wrapped with the shroud and the side strip was wound around the body. 2. …

Yes, because I’m providing the background information on the bas-relief technique and a summary of what we’ve discussed so far. With the intro already given, let’s discuss …
