What else can I help you with?
What is the monetary value of the actual original Shroud of Turin or an estimate of the price?
It is hypothetical. It is highly priceless. Catholic church will never sell. Recent scientific studies prove that it is the grave cloth that did cover Jesus of Nazareth of first century. C14 done was flawed because it was done on 15th century repair patch of cotton cloth whereas the Shroud of Turin is flax linen.
What kind of dating is done by using radioactive decay?
Carbon dating
Where can radiocarbon dating be done?
Radiocarbon dating can be done at a variety of research institutions including Woods Whole and UC Irvine. Radiocarbon dating is done in labs with equipment specific to carbon 14 analysis. Most radiocarbon dating labs have liquid scintillation counters for radiometric dating and accelerator mass spectrometers for AMS dating.
How do modern scientist determine the age of fossils?
by carbon dating it is testing how much radioactivity is in carbon 14 because radio activity has a half life so how much radio activity is left then they can determine how old it is
Does the Vatican verify the shroud of Turin?
The Shroud of Turin is viewed as a religious relic and therefore needs no verification although the Vatican declares it to be the authentic winding sheet of Christ. Several studies have been done, in the late 70's and then again in the 90's and the results, while initially being thought to be negative, are now viewed as inconclusive.No one has been able to naturally explain the phenomenon of the '3 D' effect and the inconclusiveness was caused by contamination on the shroud.also see related question on leftImproved Answer:The Catholic Church has never declared the Shroud to be the genuine burial cloth of Christ nor does the Church claim it to be a fake. There is insufficient evidence to make any sort of proclamation. It is treated as a representation of the burial cloth of Christ - a work or art. However, since it 'could' be the actual burial cloth it is treated with the utmost respect and honor.
What element found in all plants and animals determines the approximate age of the artifact?
I believe you are referring to carbon. The process by which this is done is called Carbon Dating.
What element found in animals and plants is used by scientists to determine approximate dates for an artifacts age?
Carbon. The process in which this is done is called Carbon Dating.
How was the Shroud of Turin dated?
AnswerThe cloth now known as the Shroud of Turin first appeared about 1355 at a little church in Liry, in north-central France. This places a latest date on the shroud. In 1389 bishop Pierre D'Arcis wrote to the Avignon pope, Clement VII, that the shroud was being used as part of a faith-healing scam and spoke of a predecessor who conducted the investigation and uncovered the forger: "Eventually, after diligent inquiry and examination, he discovered the fraud and how the said cloth had been cunningly painted, the truth being attested by the artist who had painted it, to wit that it was a work of human skill and not miraculously wrought or bestowed." This places the shroud firmly in the fourteenth century.Tests in 1988, by three laboratories (at Oxford, Zurich, and the University of Arizona) used accelerator mass spectrometry to date samples of the linen. The results were in close agreement and were given added credibility by the use of control samples of known dates. The resulting age span was circa 1250-1390 CE, which is entirely consistent with the correspondence from Bishop D'Arcis to Pope Clement VII.After the carbon dating results became known, someone put out a false story that the tests were done on one of the patches from the 1532 fire, thus supposedly yielding a late date. A Russian scientist, Dmitrii Kuznetsov, claimed to have established experimentally that heat from a fire like that of 1532 could alter the radiocarbon date, but others could not replicate his alleged results and it turned out that his physics calculations had been plagiarised, complete with an error (Ian Wilson, The Blood and the Shroud). No credence can now be given to this falsified report, and so the carbon-dating results must stand.
Is the shroud of Jesus real or no and why?
The shroud of Jesus is not that old aas history says , tests done on it fins that the material is much younger.
Carbon -14 dating loses accuracy for dates older than how long?
Around 60,000 years is the maximum date for which radiocarbon dating can be done; blanks (samples which contain no carbon-14) generally test at around this date due to contamination during the sampling/testing process.
Is carbon dating valid or a lie?
Carbon dating is valid for:objects that were once living (had been in equilibrium with atmospheric carbon-14 levels)objects no older than about 40,000 years (still has detectable level of carbon-14)objects that are not fossilized (carbon has not been replaced)Carbon dating often has errors (due to variations in atmospheric carbon-14 levels over time), but these can be corrected by cross-referencing with tree ring dating.Some people want carbon dating to be wrong as it may contradict their strongly held beliefs, so in their mind it must be a lie. But beliefs can be wrong (even delusional), no matter how strongly held or the source they are based on.
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.
