The shroud of Turin is a linen cloth bearing the image of a man who had apparently died of crucifixion.
Most Catholics consider it to be the burial shroud of Jesus Christ. It is currently held in the Cathedral of St John the Baptist in Turin, Italy.
Despite many scientific investigations, no one has yet been able to explain how the image has been imprinted on the shroud and despite many attempts, no one has managed to replicate it. Radiocarbon tests date it to the middle ages, however apologists for the shroud believe it is incorrupt – and carbon dating can only date things which decay.
And despite of many skeptics trying to explain that it was fake, In December 2011 physicist Giulio Fanti published a critical compendium of the major hypotheses regarding the formation of the body image on the shroud. Fanti stated that "none of them can completely explain the mysterious image".Fanti then considered corona discharge as the most probable hypothesis regarding the formation of the body image.
Raymond Rogers who conducted chemical analysis for the Shroud of Turin Research Project stated that corona discharges and/or plasmas could have made no contribution to image formation because: "It is clear that a corona discharge (plasma) in air will cause easily observable changes in a linen sample. No such effects can be observed in image fibers from the Shroud of Turin.
