Could an earthquake have created the image on the Turin Shroud?

Radiation from an earthquake may be responsible for the mysterious Turin Shroud image many believe to be a miraculous depiction of Jesus Christ, scientists claim.

An Italian team believes the powerful magnitude 8.2 earthquake, which occurred in Old Jerusalem in the year 33 AD, would have been strong enough to release neutron particles from crushed rock.

The flood of neutrons may have imprinted an X-ray-like image onto the linen burial cloth by reacting with nitrogen nuclei, say the researchers.
