With the passing of a generation of research and development, science may now be able to move beyond the question of authenticity and prove some of the most startling events in history, while disproving the results of the Shroud's controversial carbon dating. Mark Antonacci, author of The Resurrection of the Shroud, the most comprehensive and substantive book ever written on the subject, and Art Lind, a retired physicist from McDonnell Douglas Aerospace and the Boeing Company, have devised a series of tests and experiments that will test what they consider to be the most likely explanation of the Shroud's images and unprecedented features, while explaining the cloth's aberrant carbon dating. Scientific tests and experiments utilizing nuclear reactors and accelerator mass spectrometers could prove beyond a reasonable doubt that:
- Particle radiation irradiated the Shroud.
- The particle radiation emanated from the length, width, and depth of the body wrapped within the cloth.
- The event occurred in the 1st Century.
- The event happened in Jesus's burial tomb.
Unlike any other image, as modern technology is applied to the shroud, its image makes quantum leaps in development.
