Scientific Evidence for the Shroud of Turin w/ Robert Rucker, Dr Yu, Dr Max Fomitchev-Zamilov

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?
