Regarding what I mentioned earlier, this was the basis of my reference, "Di Lazzaro and his colleagues at Italy’s National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA) conducted five years of experiments, using state-of-the-art excimer lasers to train short bursts of ultraviolet light on raw linen, in an effort to simulate the image’s coloration. The ENEA team, which published its findings in 2011, came tantalizingly close to approximating the image’s distinctive hue on a few square centimeters of fabric. But they were unable to match all the physical and chemical characteristics of the shroud image. Nor could they reproduce a whole human figure.
The ultraviolet light necessary to do so “exceeds the maximum power released by all ultraviolet light sources available today,” says Di Lazzaro. It would require “pulses having durations shorter than one forty-billionth of a second, and intensities on the order of several billion watts.”
The above quote was excerpted from this article:

Yes, I believe that the image was formed by the energetic process of Yeshua converting the physical matter of his former physical body, into a pure Light form that is much, much, much faster vibratory in nature. In a sense, you could say that his consciousness focused on the body, excited the atoms and molecules of same so much, so fast, that the matter disappeared into a flash of light. Or in another sense, what first appeared as particles became waves of probability potential.
I would almost compare it to a fusion type process in a loose sense, in relation to Einstein's E=MC2 equation. Matter being light energy condensed to a very slow vibration. Energy released from matter then being Light energy in free form, which no doubt would have a radiative aspect or process.
Even if a new and better sample was taken, subjected to C14 dating process, and it was found that it came from the time of Yeshua--people who don't want to believe, still won't believe. Maybe a relative few here and there might stop and actually consider the information with an open mind, but the data is already pretty powerful as is...
I've been involved in some debates revolving around the Shroud with some atheistic materialist types and no matter how much evidence, care, and holistic logic (and in an impersonal way) I put into the debate, these folks found some way to disregard what I was saying and to continue to believe what they wanted to and already did believe.
I've found that most humans don't really want truth in a raw, undiluted form, but rather they want their preconceived, or more self comfortable, version of truth. And this goes for both people open minded to spiritual reality and those closed minded to same. The latter folks are particularly stubborn and fixed, but I've met many of the former whom also prefer to believe what they want or preconceive to believe, rather than evidence, holistic logic, and more raw truth.
In short, humans are hard to retrieve from stuck, false, distorted, and/or limiting belief systems. If we weren't, then this world would have grown up and humanity would have graduated collectively a long time ago.
