Double Slit
Doubtful. The explanation requires a certain basic understanding of physics, which is not universal, and ignores the reality that not everyone responds to the same style of explanation.

Double Slit
Citing a youtube video is not exactly a rigorous argument, and “force” has a particular definition in physics. A force is not involved here.

The "rational" foundations of religion?
You know, we've had a number of visitors who made a similar claim about this site, and none of them were actually banned for daring to speak the truth. That's a narrative that feeds the ego of a small mind, though, so I can see why they latch on to it.

War Games: Russia Takes Ukraine, China Takes Taiwan. US Response?
The one million number is apparently for the entire military, so that includes air and sea forces. But the professionals are also the ones that are the senior enlisted and the officers, not many of whom are going to be included in the ground assault.

War Games: Russia Takes Ukraine, China Takes Taiwan. US Response?
The anecdotes from the conflict suggest there are plenty of conscripts.

War Games: Russia Takes Ukraine, China Takes Taiwan. US Response?
Not everyone in the military is trained in the necessary combat roles, and not all combat soldiers are fit to deploy. Training, like upkeep and maintenance of equipment, matters. Russians conscript much of their military. Mercenaries are professional soldiers.

A question for the smarty pants.
As you admit to being a neophyte in the matters of science, that's not surprising. But perhaps you should reconsider your approach here - there are some basic things you don't know, and yet you are stating things with with a confidence that is unwarranted. Further, you seem to have awarded a lot of credibility to whatever your source has been for previous statements, and yet when they've been called into question by knowledgeable people here, you push back. Asking questions is good. Unfounded assertions, not so much. Yes, and different numbers of electrons mean the binding will be different, Unfortunate. There are a lot of misconceptions that could be cleared up, were you motivated to make that happen.

So you're just expanding the definition of a cult to include this ludicrous example in order to support your position. Not worthy of the label is another way of saying no.

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.

You can't ignore the parts of physics that say this doesn't work.

The three types of infinite motion in the universe
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
