You appear to be trolling for the sake of trolling, but for reference: reading speed is determined by familiarity with the style of the text. Diverging from whatever people are used to will make them slower.
There is no such thing as "two spaces" in HTML, so good luck with that.

Code point 160 followed by 32. In other words ` ` will do it.
There's: U+3000, ideographic space. It's conceptually fitting, with sentence separation being a good fit for "idea separation".
edit: well I tried to give an example, but hn seems to replace it with regular space. Here's a copy paste version: https://unicode-explorer.com/c/3000
Belying the name somewhat, I believe U+3000 is specifically meant for use with Sinoform logographs, having the size of a (fullwidth character) cell, and so it makes little sense in other contexts.
