Robert Rucker: 我对都灵裹尸布的研究始于孩童时期,1988年的碳十四测年结果让我产生质疑。通过分析,我发现三个实验室的测年结果存在线性关系,这表明裹尸布并非普通的布料。裹尸布上的图像与耶稣被钉十字架的细节完全吻合,其形成机制无法用现代技术复制。我利用核分析计算机代码MCNP对碳十四测年结果进行了验证,并提出图像形成与耶稣复活时的辐射爆发有关,中子吸收导致碳十四测年结果偏年轻。我进一步研究发现,裹尸布的图像并非由辐射损伤形成,而是由质子在形成过程中产生的交替电流导致的。这种交替电流使电子仅在外层纤维流动,从而产生热量,导致纤维变色。这种变色与碳原子键的变化有关,最终形成图像。 David Gornoski: 作为节目的主持人,我引导了本次讨论,并提出了关于都灵裹尸布的多个问题,例如碳十四测年结果的可靠性,图像形成机制以及与耶稣复活的关系等。我引导嘉宾们从科学角度探讨这些问题,并促进了他们之间的观点交流。 Dr. Yu: 我认同Rucker博士的研究方法,其结果比以往的研究更准确。但我对中子释放的解释略有不同,我认为这可能是由于持续的放射性衰变或环境因素造成的。图像的形成可能是一个长期累积的过程,而非单一事件。我提出图像形成可能与带电粒子的积累和电磁场的变化有关,这导致了纤维密度的变化和颜色的差异。 Dr. Max Fomitchev-Zamilov: 我赞同Rucker博士的观点,他的数据分析严谨,结论合理。但我认为仅凭三个数据点不足以完全证明碳十四测年结果随裹尸布位置变化的线性关系。尽管如此,Rucker博士的理论能够解释现有证据,并做出可验证的预测,这符合科学研究的精神。我提出一个疑问,如果Rucker博士的理论成立,为什么我们没有在其他古代裹尸布上发现类似的图像?

Chapters
Bob Rucker shares his intriguing journey into the world of the Shroud of Turin, sparked by a childhood encounter with an image in a magazine and further fueled by academic and professional experiences in nuclear engineering.
  • Rucker's interest in the Shroud began in childhood after seeing an image in a magazine.
  • He pursued a career in nuclear engineering, earning a master's degree from the University of Michigan.
  • Rucker was skeptical of the carbon dating results of the Shroud conducted in 1988.

Shownotes Transcript

David Gornoski sits down with nuclear engineer Bob Rucker, physicist Dr Weiping Yu, and nuclear scientist Dr Max Fomitchev-Zamilov for an in-depth analysis of the Shroud of Turin—the supposed burial cloth of Jesus. Is the image on the fabric a unique phenomenon? Can we trust the carbon dating results touted by skeptics of the Shroud? What can we derive from the scientific analysis of this highly mysterious object?
