WHAT+IS+SHROUDSCIENCE

ShroudScience Group on Yahoo! is a private mailing list founded in 2002 by some researchers (G. Fanti, M. Latendresse, E. Marinelli, R. Rogers and others) who felt the need to discuss together at a scientific level many problems related to the Turin Shroud.

By means of thousands of e-mails per year exchanged, open issues as the body image formation and the dating have been studied in detail.

The Group has still produced a reference paper entitled “[|Evidences for Testing Hypotheses about the Body Image Formation of The Turin Shroud]” and a poster entitled “[|Experimental Results of Sunlight Acting on Linen Fabrics after a report on Nathan Wilson’s “Shadow Theory]”, but other papers are in preparation.

In July 2006 ShroudScience Group is composed of about one hundred of scholars and researchers from all the world and it is open to the inclusions of new members if they are qualified to discuss the scientific aspects.
