The Super-Kamiokande neutrino observatory, a stainless-steel chamber filled with 12.5 million gal. of water, lined with sensitive light detectors and located deep underground in an old zinc mine near the city of Takayama, is among the most sensitive instruments of its kind in the world. The physicists who use it are widely recognized as extremely careful experimenters. And, says University of Hawaii physicist John Learned, there wasn't much doubt about what they saw.

Norretranders' advice, upon distillation, condenses into pure common sense...
...related complaint was raised in 1993 by a Russian scientist named Dmitri Kouznetsov and enthusiastically supported by John Jackson, a physicist who was one of the leaders of the 1978 research team and is now co-director of the Turin Shroud Center of Colorado. Kouznetsov suggested that the radiocarbon dates had been thrown off by the entire shroud's exposure to a fire in 1532, which could have been expected to alter its carbon profile...
