Shroud of Turin more legit after research?

this is a question I found on "AsktheAtheist" and I would like to get some of your impressions. Jesus was only in a tomb for 3 days, and yet the shroud seems very impressive! 

"I suggest you watch this video, which is a summary video that shows all the relevant articles from 2009 upwards instead of going to the articles one by one. It’s faster and easier. [2018 UPDATE! SHROUD OF TURIN REVEALS SECRETS | STRANGE END TIMES SIGNS () Within it at the 3:25 minute marker it has information on: The ultraviolet light necessary to do so “exceeds the maximum number release from all ultra-violet light sources available today” and It would require “pulses having durations shorter than one-forthy-billionth of a second, and intensities on the order of several billion watts” ***********

Back to my point: * The evidence they have found is that the image is no oil painting and it is caused by light in the UVB range at burst of several million micro seconds and energy release of everal billion kilowatts. * Science has literally confirmed it is a crucified man and that the image has been produced by no natural light but a light that is several billion kw of energy and bursts of light as short as a millionth of a second. * It was highly superficial but strong enough to cause an imprint. * Christian imagines what Jesus looks like and this comes indirectly from the Shroud image that was responsible for most of the early portraits of Jesus from 300 A.D. Therefore: Since our greatest minds can not conceive of how the image was made except by supernatural means, perhaps logic dictates the Shroud is physical evidence of a supernatural event – the resurrection of Jesus."

Thoughts about the light burst?

Power at “several billion kw” for “as short as a millionth of a second” will deposit energy on the order of millions of joules, even if we take the most favorable interpretation of “several” = 1, and “as short as a millionth of of a second” to be not even one fraction more than exactly one millionth of a second.    One million joules will consume 1 kg worth of fabric in your precious shroud and turn that into ash.   Any less stringent interpretation of “Several” and “as short as” will make things proportionally worse for your shroud than being turned into ash. How many kgs is your precious shroud?

You quote people who feel entitled to throw around sciency sounding words, yet exhibits no hint of any grasp of their meaning and magnitudes.   This is not a merely an error or mistaken estimate of their own power of comprehension.   This is the very essence of Christian apology, which is to gleefully deploy any world that might  sound to the uneducated like it might support the Christian fable and justify Christian crimes and excesses, while in reality holding in utter contempt the real meaning of these very same words.
