![]() ![]() This means that the speed of the radiation-based disappearance of the body was so fast compared to other forces acting on the cloth that it was as if the cloth was standing still, stationary. Plus, the cloth under the body would not fall upward, which means that the falling cloth hypothesis cannot easily explain the dorsal image on the cloth between the body and the cloth.Ģ) The speed of the falling cloth due to the vacuum generated by the disappearing body is too slow compared to the disappearance of the body due to radiation. With Rucker’s analysis, he illustrates several flaws in the cloth collapse theory of image formation:ġ) The speed of the falling cloth due to gravity is too slow compared to the speed of the body being removed through radiation. Another hypothesis is that the body disappeared through some sort of radiation. There was a proposed hypothesis that the image was caused by the shroud cloth falling through the body as it disappeared it became mechanically transparent. What does this mean?īased on this introduction, Rucker delves further into other possible collapses of the cloth. Therefore based on this statement Rucker explains that due to these “characteristics indicate that the Shroud could not be the product of an artist or forger in any era, so that the image must have been created in some way by the body that was wrapped in the Shroud”(Rucker, 1). However, what does this mean for the image? It means that based on the “changes in the electron bonding of the carbon atoms had to be made in a pattern to produce the image of a crucified man”(Rucker, 1). Rucker explains that the discoloration is caused from “single electron bonds in the carbon atoms in the cellulose molecules of the flax fibers being changed into double electron bonds”. Thus, the image of the Shroud is difficult to decipher due to layers of fibers, however, why is this. The introduction to the paper first explains “scientific examination of the image on the Shroud indicates that it is a negative image that contains 3D information, that the discoloration that forms the image is only on the top one or two layers of fibers in a thread and is only on the extreme outer surface of each fiber, and that the discoloration is not due to pigment, a liquid, contact with a hot object, or a photographic process” (Rucker, 1). The two hypotheses are:Ģ.) Vertical Radiation Introduction of the paper Rucker MS, titled “ Potential Problems with a Cloth Collapse Hypothesis for Image Formation on the Shroud of Turin”) attempts to describe many of the issues related to the disappearance of the body and some thoughts as to the mechanism. When trying to understand the mechanism of resurrection there are a handful of challenges to explain how the physical body disappeared and the resultant image formation on the linen cloth. ![]()
