    (Comparable to some very thin coatings used in modern nanotechnology
    human hair 70-100 μm diameter)

  3. The image does not soak into the cloth as liquid dyes typically would.

  4. The image has no clear directionality, unlike artwork applied by hand.

  5. There is no universally accepted explanation for the image. Chemical reactions, scorching, radiation hypotheses, and other mechanisms have been proposed, but no theory has gained scientific consensus.
