Idiots And The Silly Shroud nuclear physics but assuming the earthquake did emit enough neutron radiation to affect the proportion of Carbon12 and Carbon14 in the shroud... then wouldnt that have increased the amount of Carbon14 in the shroud?.... That being the case, then shouldnt one expect this to cause the carbon dating to make the shroud seem older rather than younger ? According to the paper cited the reaction they postulate is N14 + n -> C14 + H1 which would increase the number of C14 nuclei and thus reduce the apparent carbon date. The ratio of C14 to C12 decreases as time progresses. Even so this is all very tenuous. We would have to suppose that the cloth was in the right place to get an unusual dose of neutrinos from an earthquake. There is a simple experiment to refute this hypothesis. Find something that is known to be from that region at that time and carbon date it. If it does not show any anomaly then the idea is on pretty shaky ground Lets not forget other inconsistencies with this stupid the relative proportions of the limbs and body are wrong. For example, the legs are too long for the body, the arms are of slightly different lengths and you simply cannot get a real person into that exact position. This is about as real as the imagery foreskin wedding ring some stupid nun claimed Jesus had given her. At least the researchers are proposing a natural cause for the image, and not a supernatural one like the irradiation of divine light as the dead body of Jesus was raised from death to glorified. sciencedaily/releases/2014/02/140211084009.htm
