The History Channel program on the link above talked about the distortion iirc. The scientist that was studying it talked about how the shroud was not of a 2D image, but had 3D information “encoded” in it. From that 3D information they created a 3D model of the head.

Then - to try to figure out how the information from the body got onto the shroud they imagined various things. And they figured it might have been a narrow band of energy that scanned the body - just like a photocopier.

So they put a “photocopier” of sorts over the 3D model they had made, scanned it, printed it out, and came back up with a flat representation that looked just like the shroud. It's a pretty interesting show.

There was a gal physicist that is pretty highly regarded as I recall. She talks I think about how the Resurrection was something of a black hole event where time and space all come together or something. Pretty weird to me, but she talked about how much energy would be released in those types of events, etc.

Space and time are God’s creations and servants. Holy Xerox? Who knows. The Shroud might be genuine. I simply fear too much will be read into artifacts and too little into God’s revealed word.
