Servantx,
"Dame" Isabel Piczek is not a particle physicist. Thomas D'Muhala is not a particle physicist. They write books about the Shroud of Turin. Fred AlanWolf is a theoretical physicist but notice that when they put his short interview into the film he makes no comments about the Shroud of Turin (he may have been totally unaware when interviewed that he was going to be a part of a Shroud of Turin video, i.e. ambush interview). Wolf gave the definition of one type of event horizon in his interview (black hole event horizon).
The fact that event horizons exist and the speculations about the Shroud of Turin are not related.
Here's another type of event horizon that's also valid:
Let's say that you are here on Earth and you announce that ten minutes from now you will perform some act. It makes no difference what the act is. At that instant there is a sphere centered on you with a radius of 10 light minutes. The surface of that sphere is an event horizon such that no object, person or force at that distance or beyond can interact with your action 10 minutes hence even if whatever it is (person, object, force) is traveling at the speed of light to get here. It's not a black hole type event horizon but it is an event horizon none the less.
Muhala and Piczek are using pseudo-scientific jargon to make their case in order to get you to go out and purchase their books, tapes, CD's, t-shirts, coffee mugs, comic books...
Sound familiar?

Well, the first thing that we have to accept without a shred of evidence is that there is a 3-D image on the cloth. The Vatican has allowed very few people to look at the shroud let alone do extensive scientific experiments on it. Those that were allowed didn't include Picsek and D'Muhala.
So, the answer to your question is, "What 3-D image?"
Do you see any 3-D images in the video? Or do you see 2-D images that D'Muhala and Picsek say are 3-D in the "real world" (wink, wink, nod, nod), "We wouldn't lie to you"?

Hi Darby,
I remembered in Computer Graphics class back in the university days that normal photographs and paintings cannot create 3D bump mapping plots. But the image in the Shroud can do bump mapping with no light directions.
You need many photos with slightly shot in different angles, overlapping each other to do 3d bump mapping, as described in this article.
For example, like this.

I did a bit of search on the web and I found this article, the article explains it a bit clearer than my words.
