The three types of infinite motion in the universe
The object is always in motion, and the distance is always increasing, but to say "the distance increases without bound" is incorrect. The distance never exceeds 6. It is clearly bound. At best this is just sloppy use of terminology. edit: or, it's recycled crap.

What would happen to space if passage of time was accelerating? Equality principle. Similarity of empty space. A Shrinking matter theory that might actually work.
You can't ignore the parts of physics that say this doesn't work.

For case 3 the mass travels less than 6 meters. Last I checked that was finite, and bounded.

The "rational" foundations of religion?
Opinions aren’t necessarily supported by evidence. I think chocolate is better than vanilla. Am I a cult?

A question for the smarty pants.
You aren’t making it obvious what you already know, given your mistaken and/or vague assertions. No, electrons are in orbitals that are mostly outside of the nucleus, and protons and neutrons are in the nucleus; they do not “make up an atom’s electrons”. Proton number dictates the number of electrons in a neutral atom, because the magnitude of charge on each is equal. Neutrons, being neutral, have no effect on the number of electrons, and have a limited impact on chemistry. (they e.g. affect reaction rates because more massive objects at a given energy move slower)

The problem is that it has to fit with all of physics, not just cosmology.

You are making claims about chemistry. Like it or not, the bulk effects of an atom interacting with another generally falls under the umbrella of chemistry. And the electron structure of an atom dictates the chemistry

Argon has more electrons than oxygen. Doesn’t mean you can substitute one for the other.

Nuclear reactor technical discussion (split form War Games: Russia Takes Ukraine)
Yes. Nuclear reactors don't undergo nuclear explosions. AFAIK the reactor in question is not the same design as the Chernobyl reactor (which underwent a steam explosion and did not have a containment vessel), so comparisons to it are limited This is not to say that bad results won't happen from bombing a nuclear plant, but "the end of Europe" is hyperbole. Chernobyl didn't end Europe, just as Fukushima didn't end Japan.

Questions about reactor cooling systems
Money is probably a factor. You need to buy these items and maintain these systems, both of which cost money. In a pressurized water reactor a turbine is in a second loop. You have more opportunity for leaks with each new penetration. Plus the fun of either potentially having a thermal shock if the loop is cold and all of the sudden you fire it up, or if you keep it hot you are wasting some of the generated heat, making the plant less efficient. It's risk/reward, which is skewed by the nature of the beast: you want to make money, so a certain amount of value engineering goes on, cutting back on costs that are deemed unnecessary. Are four layers of redundancy required, or can you get away with three? And if you are having problems with the reactor, perhaps it's best not to rely on the reactor itself. Some reactors can use natural convection and not rely on pumps, but it might not work on a commercial scale plant. Decay heat can be something like 7% of full power, so if you have a 1 GW plant, that's 70 MW you need to remove - that's a lot of water that needs to be moved, and you aren't pulling the energy out by driving a steam turbine. I'm not sure how much "broken by an invading force" gets considered in the design of a plant.

Travelling faster than the speed of light would mean entering a parallel universe?
No. Superluminal speeds are inconsistent with causality: there are situations where you can get a response to a signal before you send the signal. Depending on what you mean by parallel dimensions, they are science fiction or an interpretation of QM. Not actually science itself.
-
Light has no mass because gravity and light travel at the same speed, true or false?
Light moves at the same speed as gravity because photons have no mass. Massless things move at c. Massive things move at speeds slower than c.

A question for the smarty pants.
Different kinds of lead? Which sidesteps the question about cost. None of this addresses my post. What is your point? I don't think that was it. The difference in chemistry was addressed immediately by exchemist. Instead of asking for a followup, the OP doubled down on dubious claims trying to support the notion. I suspect that's the source of any real antagonism. The title was just foreshadowing.

A question for the smarty pants.
And how does that change the cost of procuring and processing? In a word, no. Whatever you read you interpreted incorrectly. Fragmentation makes for dust which can be inhaled. Alpha decayers are very destructive internally, but not so much as an external dose. More dangerous/more damaging is NOT the same as more radioactive DU is less radioactive than natural uranium of equal mass (U-235 has a shorter half-life)

He fights to overcome a stutter, which isn’t about energy.

A question for the smarty pants.
Where? No, that means you have fewer atoms for the same mass, which (all else being the same) means fewer chemical reactions

The equation of dark matter; amazing theory
When your prediction fails it’s a clue that your idea is flawed. This is a rather spectacular failure, befitting the flaw
