Well for one I doubt any scientists would agree that the Encyclopedia
Britannica is a "expert source" because that is not it's purpose. The
Encyclopedia Britannica is more of a students reference meant to only
superficially cover the topics it contains. You will not find any scientific
paper that references the Encyclopedia Britannica as a source of data.
So it is up to you to show more proof in order for your statement "I believe
I can demonstrate that
'expert' sources (Encyclopedia Britannica for example) publish information
that is wrong, and yet is generally accepted, even by experts in the field."
to be taken as fact.

Not a field I know anything about so no real point in entering into a
debate. I unlike you know my own limitations and do not engage in debates on
topics that I have no understanding off.

Again see above, however I would say that any theory put forth in modern
times about the builders intended use of any chambers in the Great Pyramid
are just that theories. In that there is only one inscription in the entire
pyramid that even mentions the name of the Pharaoh who built it, and that
inscription is not in the so called Kings Chamber or the so called Queens
Chamber. So there is no evidence in either the King or Queens chamber as to
there actual intended use. It is my understanding that there is an empty
stone box in the Queens Chamber that is large enough to have contained a
Kings Sarcophagus and that that is the only hard evidence that the chamber
was used to intern the King.
The lack of inscriptions from the Book of the Dead in both chambers is a
stark departure from the norms of Pharaohic burial practices but again the
lack of evidence is not evidence.

Why a manetized magnet is not magnetic....hmm...
I'm not sure it says anything at all about Newtonian physics, since
they don't apply to the electromagnetic spectrum. AFAIK they're only
concerned with the movements of bodies with mass. Einsteinian physics
maybe ;-)
Ok, for sh.ts and giggles I'm interested in this one. Fire away.
