J. Dee German: Science and the Shroud of Turin

J. Dee German, a retired physicist and engineer, spent much of his 43-year career in research and development of lasers for a variety of applications, including high power systems designed to destroy aircraft and missiles to low power personal protection devices. He also was a professor of Physics and Electrical Engineering at the U.S.Air Force Academy from 1973 to 1978.

In 1978, Mr. German was part of a team of scientists commissioned to do an exhaustive study of the Shroud of Turin, a religious artifact of dubious origin.  In this presentation, he describes what scientific methods were used in the study of the shroud and what conclusions were gathered from aforementioned study.   Original presentation was recorded March 26, 2012 at Salem Seminole Baptist Church in Donalsonville, Georgia.
