Shroud Wrapped round the Body
One important point about the Holy Shroud of Turin is that the image of the person is too fairly displayed without a distortion or a warp.
If the shroud had been placed on the person closely touching his skin all around, his image must look deformed when the shroud was opened, extended and placed flatly on the ground or a table.
If you wrap your face in a cloth and your face is copied onto the cloth, you would see a deformed face on the cloth as it is opened and placed on a table flatly.
To take the image of the person under the shroud as it is, the shroud must have been placed above his body like a long and hard mirror stretching his head to the toe. There must not be flexure on the shroud. To get such a photo-like image of the body, the shroud must be just like a tight canvas without touching or wrapping his body softly along the curve of his body.
A following test image is of a small statue heated and placed on a sheet of paper:
If the sheet of paper was wrapped around the statute, you could not get the images in the above figure without distortion and deflection. Even the side portions of the body must be printed there.
So, the image of the person must have bee imprinted when somebody pulled the shroud to horizontally tighten it above and in parallel with the body so that the body under is printed to the shroud like an image taken to a film. Indeed a film in a camera is set and tighten without distortion and deflection.
This thinking leads to inference on how the image was taken onto the shroud.
When the shroud was wrapped round the body of the person, there was no printing effect. But some blood must be taken onto the shroud from the body. Then somebody got into the tomb where the dead body was placed. He held the end of the shroud to pull upward and tighten it above and in parallel with the body. Then the air in the tomb entered the space between the dead body and the shroud. Probably, heat was accumulating around the dead body as the person was in the process of resurrection. Power of life was returning to him, generating heat.
This heat simply resided in the space around his dead body under the shroud till the mysterious man came to the tomb on the third day after the crucifixion. Then the man lifted a little and tightened horizontally the shroud to make a gap between the body and the shroud. Cool air flew into the space between the body generating heat and the shroud being heated but not taking a picture of the body yet. Heat cooled the body and the shroud, but the body was still generating heat. Then some effect occurred to imprint the figure of the body on the surface of the shroud being stretched and heated again.
Probably the time it took for this imprinting must have been very short. When the body was still covered, the heat must be just above his body and on the appressed shroud along with the shape of his body. It must be like a close envelope. However, as the image on the shroud is not deformed as we see today, the image was not yet imprinted on the surface of the shroud.
But when they touched the cool air flowing in between the body and the shroud that were being taken apart a little, the heat whose intensity followed the shape of the body imprinted itself on the shroud without deformation. Then the shape of the body appeared on the shroud.
So, the issue is that what temperature and what ingredients in the space between the body and shroud before the influx of the cool environmental air are needed to transfer the image of the body or the source of the heat to the shroud after the shroud is cooled and heated again. The body of Christ Jesus must have discharged some special chemical ingredients to the space around it before the shroud was uplifted and stretched above the body. And, science might find some candidate chemicals.
In addition, if radiation had been emitted from the inside of the body, it must have been output vertically from his skin. It must have radiated vertically along the curve of the body. It could not constitute a clear body shape on the shroud if it had directly contributed to the formation of the shape on the shroud.
But energy from the body must have been out of his body to stay around it in the form of heat around the body and on the internal surface of the shroud reflecting his body shape. But the image of the body was not yet imprinted on the shroud while the shroud wrapped the body along its curve. However, when someone pulled and stretched the shroud, it postured as a mirror to the body generating heat. And at the time, the image was imprinted along with cool air coming in between the body and the shroud.
The back side of the body must be also under the same effect of the coming cool air. But the portion of shroud directly above the floor must have not been warped but have been rather straight and planer. The imprinting must have been done easily without a warp when the cool air also filled the narrow space to cool the shroud and then the shroud was heated again by the body generating heat
