Could Chernobyl have been a farce? Maybe. I have no idea. But to start off with "Uranium is not real, its all blah blah, blah" is not sane.

There are mountains of evidence that it is what science teaches it is. Not just in books, but experiments that real people do that aren't "made up" by some gremlin in the rocks.

I mean at that point you pretty much have to throw out the entirety of Electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and Quantum Mechanics. The entire thing. And all the experiments (many millions) that justify the models.

You might as well start with "to escape the matrix, just go to sleep and in your dream unplug the tube running into your head." To me, having done all these experiments that justify our mathematical models, and having studied all the models and math that connects them, the unplugging from the matrix idea is more plausible than "uranium isn't real".
