I found a energy source to run a machine indefinitely/1000 years past the point any sentient being presence on the planet to point out it did not indeed run forever.
Or to rephrase:
Who will be around to prove that I am wrong?
By the time you can not drill a hole deep enough for this to work, everything n the surface will be long dead.
(Earth magnetic field is also fuel by the core and with out it all life stops... the magnetic field will drop almost instantaneously if the reactor at the core stops, while it would take what 20 million years according to kelvin for the earth to cool down (remembering his calculation did not include or compensate for the core being radio active, and once that stops nothing mathematically can say he was wrong.) all life would have been obliterated by the solar bombardment.

If he thinks he knew why inside of the earth is hot, tell him radioactive decay supplies only part of the heat that is being generated inside the earth, and ask him where the rest is coming from.
In any case, neither major sources of heat generation inside the earth is perpetual. Both will gradually wind down over geological time.
and i do not think you understand the definition of perpetual motion machine.. even after I posted it.
wear and tear would consume the machine before the radiation of the core would stop producing enough heat to cause a fuel failure.
Meaning core fails with in 10 years all life ends, yet the machine will continue on till the bearing fails, or a pipe develops a leak or a rubber oring cracks and fails or 1000 other wear and tear things happens... which again is included in the defination.
Meaning the definition of perpetual motion machine makes allowances for wear and tear. which again will hapen long long before the machine runs out of fuel/heat.
