Why can't the Shroud of Turin be duplicated by scientists today?

Since it's wasn't painted or drawn they have no idea how the image got onto the cloth, therefore they can't replicate it.

What is turin shroud?
The Shroud of Turin is an ancient cloth constructed of linen that bears the image of a man believed to have been crucified. There are many today that believe it is the original burial cloth of Jesus Christ..AnswerFor a very complete analysis of the shroud of Turin and its history, please see the website below:
Is the Shroud of Turin older than 900 years old?
Yes, recent scientific studies have conclusively proved that the Shroud can be dated to the period 300 BC to 400 AD in or near the Holy Land. You may view all the evidence at the Shroud of Turin website, and read the article from USA Today at the links below. From USA Today, 30 March 2013Many experts have stood by a 1988 carbon-14 dating of scraps of the cloth carried out by labs in Oxford, Zurich and Arizona that dated it from 1260 to 1390, which, of course, would rule out its used during the time of Christ. The new test, by scientists at the University of Padua in northern Italy, used the same fibers from the 1988 tests but disputes the findings. The new examination dates the shroud to between 300 BC and 400 AD, which would put it in the era of Christ. It determined that the earlier results may have been skewed by contamination from fibers used to repair the cloth when it was damaged by fire in the Middle Ages, the British newspaper reported. The cloth has been kept at the cathedral since 1578.

Was Jesus a dwarf?
No, but if the depiction you're seeing displays him as shorter than the average man, it is because around the year 0AD, men were MUCH shorter on average. As time went by, the height of the average human has increased.

What is the Shroud of Turin's history?
The Church has always revered the Shroud of Turin as an icon, not a relic, in other words, the Church has never claimed that it was the actual burial cloth of Christ, just that there is excellent evidence to prove that it is. USA Today, in an article dated in March 2013 reviews recent testing which proves that the Shroud is from the first century Anno Domini, you may view their review of the recent test and the findings at the second link below. The Shroud of Turin website is at the third link below which gives all relevant data. It would appear that the Shroud is, indeed, consistent with everything that we know about Our Blessed Savior's death, burial, and resurrection. For a complete discussion of the Shroud's history see the last link below which provides a complete history of the Shroud. The second link provides the most recent history. The Shroud's history is known and not disputed from 1350 onwards, there is considerable evidence of the Shroud before that time, but it is all disputed by one authority or another. The only thing that has been conclusively proved by modern science is that the Shroud is indeed from the Holy Land in the first century Anno Domini.From the Shroud of Turin website introduction:The Shroud of Turin is a centuries old linen cloth that bears the image of a crucified man. A man that millions believe to be Jesus of Nazareth. Is it really the cloth that wrapped his crucified body, or is it simply a medieval forgery, a hoax perpetrated by some clever artist? Modern science has completed hundreds of thousands of hours of detailed study and intense research on the Shroud. It is, in fact, the single most studied artifact in human history, and we know more about it today than we ever have before. And yet, the controversy still rages. This web site will keep you abreast of current research, provide you with accurate data from the previous research and let you interact with the researchers themselves. We believe that if you have access to the facts, you can make up your own mind about the Shroud. Make sure you visit the page where you can Examine the Shroud of Turin for yourself. We hope you enjoy your visit. Barrie M. Schwortz, Editor.The test results from the STURP (Shroud of Turin Research Project, Inc) report:No pigments, paints, dyes or stains have been found on the fibrils. X-ray, fluorescence and microchemistry on the fibrils preclude the possibility of paint being used as a method for creating the image. Ultra Violet and infrared evaluation confirm these studies. Computer image enhancement and analysis by a device known as a VP-8 image analyzer show that the image has unique, three-dimensional information encoded in it. Microchemical evaluation has indicated no evidence of any spices, oils, or any biochemicals known to be produced by the body in life or in death. It is clear that there has been a direct contact of the Shroud with a body, which explains certain features such as scourge marks, as well as the blood. However, while this type of contact might explain some of the features of the torso, it is totally incapable of explaining the image of the face with the high resolution that has been amply demonstrated by photography.The basic problem from a scientific point of view is that some explanations which might be tenable from a chemical point of view, are precluded by physics. Contrariwise, certain physical explanations which may be attractive are completely precluded by the chemistry. For an adequate explanation for the image of the Shroud, one must have an explanation which is scientifically sound, from a physical, chemical, biological and medical viewpoint. At the present, this type of solution does not appear to be obtainable by the best efforts of the members of the Shroud Team. Furthermore, experiments in physics and chemistry with old linen have failed to reproduce adequately the phenomenon presented by the Shroud of Turin. The scientific concensus is that the image was produced by something which resulted in oxidation, dehydration and conjugation of the polysaccharide structure of the microfibrils of the linen itself. Such changes can be duplicated in the laboratory by certain chemical and physical processes. A similar type of change in linen can be obtained by sulfuric acid or heat. However, there are no chemical or physical methods known which can account for the totality of the image, nor can any combination of physical, chemical, biological or medical circumstances explain the image adequately.Thus, the answer to the question of how the image was produced or what produced the image remains, now, as it has in the past, a mystery.We can conclude for now that the Shroud image is that of a real human form of a scourged, crucified man. It is not the product of an artist. The blood stains are composed of hemoglobin and also give a positive test for serum albumin. The image is an ongoing mystery and until further chemical studies are made, perhaps by this group of scientists, or perhaps by some scientists in the future, the problem remains unsolved.From USA Today, 30 March 2013Many experts have stood by a 1988 carbon-14 dating of scraps of the cloth carried out by labs in Oxford, Zurich and Arizona that dated it from 1260 to 1390, which, of course, would rule out its used during the time of Christ.The new test, by scientists at the University of Padua in northern Italy, used the same fibers from the 1988 tests but disputes the findings.

Where are Alfa Romeos from?
Alfa was founded in Milan, Italy, in 1909. Today it is owned by the Fiat Group whose headquarters are located in Turin, Italy.
Who found Turin shroud?
Original answer: It is kept safely in Italy Turin. but it is not the cloth that wrapped the body of Jesus as it is much younger in age. New answer: Yes, the Shroud of Turin is in the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Turin, Italy. However, new technologies suggest that the radio carbon testing done in 1988 that originally placed the Shroud around the 1260 to 1390 time frame is in fact inaccurate. There is currently a large consensus that the Shroud could be from the time of Jesus and has been further analyzed to reveal pollens imbedded throughout the linen found only within a 50 mile radius of Israel at that time.
