In his captivating presentation at The Shroud of Turin 2025 International Conference & Symposium, physicist Cesar Barta delves into a fascinating hypothesis: that the Shroud of Turin may have been irradiated with neutrons, which could explain its disputed radiocarbon dating results. Drawing on over 25 years of experience in nuclear physics and space science, Barta examines how neutron radiation could have altered the Shroud’s carbon-14 content, making it appear to date to the 14th century rather than its true origin.
Barta’s research suggests that only neutron radiation, as opposed to other forms of radiation like alpha, beta, or gamma, could affect the radiocarbon content in linen fibers. He explores the experimental and theoretical models that predict how neutron exposure would impact carbon dating.
Barta also highlights the role of ultraviolet fluorescence, showing that this phenomenon could be linked to neutron irradiation, further supporting the theory. He urges the scientific community to conduct non-destructive tests on the Shroud to explore this hypothesis in greater detail.
Through his work, Barta challenges the existing narratives about the Shroud’s age and origin, offering a new perspective on its mysterious properties.
