(Remote cells)I connect one conductor’s end to one cell’s negative terminal and then it’s other end to ANOTHER cells positive terminal, why doesn’t current flow? PLEASE someone explain in an easy way cause this question is eating me bro.

If the circuit isn’t complete the cell can’t gain and lose electrons in equal measure, it’s either accepting them *or* donating them.
This causes a buildup of charge, the donor becomes positively charged and the acceptor becomes negatively charged.
Since electrons are negative, they will not flow from a positive towards a negative for very long.
You may get a very brief trickle of current while the system charges up like a capacitor, but this will quickly go to zero.
