My Model 10 – thermal imprinting with white flour onto linen – can account for the curious properties of the Turin Shroud body image

Remind you of anything? Like those supposedly “unique” and … Continue reading

My answer to the steeped-in-mystique Turin Shroud - evolving gradually from some 10 years of science-based experimental modelling.
