Why we can see the image on the Shroud is explained by the presence of information in the pattern of discolored fibers in the image. This is attempted in this paper based on information, radiation, and neutron absorption. To determine whether the Shroud of Turin could be the authentic burial cloth of Jesus, the many mysteries related to the Shroud need to be explained with a logically consistent unbiased evidence-based approach that follows the evidence where it leads. The neutron absorption hypothesis is used to explain the apparent C14 date to 1260 to 1390 AD. This includes consideration of 14 indicators of the Shroud’s date and 6 indications that the 1988 statistical analysis of the C14 dating results was inadequate. ![]() Four reasons are discussed which indicate that this conclusion is not justified by the evidence. ![]() Two objections to these conclusions are considered – that they violate the laws of science and that the authenticity of the Shroud is disproven by the 1988 C14 dating of the Shroud, which concluded that the Shroud dates to 1260 to 1390 AD with a 95% probability. A multi-step argument is given that the image on the Shroud is that of Jesus of Nazareth. Research on the Shroud is summarized using nine summary statements. This summary is based on the opinions of most Shroud researchers and on research by the author. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the results of the scientific research on the Shroud of Turin. To determine whether this could be true, more historical and scientific research has been done on the Shroud of Turin than on any other ancient artifact. According to ancient tradition, the Shroud of Turin is the authentic burial cloth of Jesus.
