Earthquake may explain Shroud of Turin mystery


Carpinteri's team used mechanical and chemical experimentation to test if "high-frequency pressure waves generated in the Earth's crust during earthquakes are the source of neutron emissions" generated by high-frequency pressure wave created in the Earth's crust during earthquakes. "We believe it is possible that neutron emissions by earthquakes could have induced the image formation on the Shroud's linen fibres, through thermal neutron capture on nitrogen nuclei, and could also have caused a wrong radiocarbon dating," hypothesizes Carpinteri.
