THE THOUGHT OF THOMAS AQUINAS. A SWORD OF DAMOCLES ON THE RADIATIVE PROCESS

Summary/Abstract: In this article, we want to further investigate the radiative hypothesis using the thought of a Doctor of the Catholic Church: Saint Thomas Aquinas. Here, we speak about a radiative process (which, in this case, appears to us as if it was a miraculous event) that should lead to the formation of the Shroud Body Image. We do not believe that this hypothesis is able to obtain the above Image with all the complex characteristics already deduced experimentally. Thus, we decided to investigate with the help of Saint Thomas Aquinas, an authoritative scholar in the world of Theology and Philosophy. The above investigation that seems impossible, on the contrary, can become realistic using the thought of Thomas that exudes from all his writings. Saint Thomas affirms that God is Immutable and Eternal, that is, outside of time and space. Consequently, His actions, for example a Miracle, occurs instantly, with the impossibility that this extraordinary event could be described step by step. In such a case the Natural Sciences can only say that a supernatural event is happened. Nothing else.
