I don't know what documentary you saw, but the weave is the same, a three-over-one twill. What I wrote is accurate. The C-14 samples were destroyed by burning in the test except for one sub-sample that was retained for future use. That one has photo-micrographs available and the weave is the same on either side, the one with original Shroud material, and the side with new cotton.
These are FACTS, al_c, not something made up.
There is very little visible difference between the patched area and the main body of the Shroud except under ultraviolet light. . . and when looked at under a stereoscopic microscope to compare the average size of the threads when one can notice the sizes are slightly different. Measuring them shows the difference.
This is SCIENCE, not a subjective weave difference that would show up on a documentary video, where the threads would run differently than the rest of the cloth. That is just NOT the case. It would be too obvious a difference.
Trust me on this, I have studies the Shroud for over forty years. There were so many errors made by the scientists who did the sampling and documenting of that sampling it almost looks as if it were done with the intent to deliberately sabotage the testing. For example, the original reports claimed that the Arizona a lab receive two samples immediately adjacent to each other, but examination of the photomicrographs that Arizona took of their sample showed they actually received the two sub-samples taken from the the farthest ends from each other, not adjacent samples. . . The Zurich and Oxford samples were swapped with each other from the original reports. This obfuscated the analysis of sub-sample dating.
Say it isn't so! Science sabotaging Faith?
