If you cant answer mine, nor provide what i asked for, i see no reason to oblige you.
There's this convention in conversations: if I ask you a question first, then you answer my question first. Exceptions are possible when my answer to your question will make your answer to my question easier to understand. Since your question is entirely unrelated to mine, this does not apply to the current conversation. In case your question
is relevant, and its relevance simply goes over my head, then you will have to explain why it is relevant -- in other words -- why I should go out of my way to answer your question before you answer my question.
I'll gladly respond to your post if you respond to mine. So far, I can only assume that you are bringing up side-questions and Youtube videos to distract me from my own question, and therefore avoid having to answer it. I see through this, and I will not fall for it.
If you are interested in continuing a conversation with me, then feel free to do so by actually contributing to the conversation the way people typically contribute to conversations:
answer my question, then ask a question of your own.

according to the reasoning of this video if you were outside of the atmosphere you would no longer be under the pressure of our atmosphere and there would be no downwards force on you? Am I understanding this correctly? He seems to believe that the force we call gravity is actually the force caused from the atmosphere pressing down on us.
This is an observation I couldn't help making as well. This person in particular isn't denying gravity -- he's just giving it a different label. If you claim gravity does not exist, you can't talk about "air pressing down on us" without offering an explanation as to
why it presses down on us.
