In this episode, nuclear engineer and lead researcher Bob Rucker applies over 40 years of scientific expertise to one of history’s greatest mysteries — the Shroud of Turin. Believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ, the Shroud’s mysterious image has baffled scientists for centuries. Bob reveals his nuclear tests and theories on how the image formed, explores its marks and mysteries, and considers what it would mean if it truly is the burial cloth of Christ.
