The helium observed for the past three decades in oceanic
basalts has been demonstrated to have been produced by a
nuclear reactor at the center of the Earth. The nuclear georeactor
numerical simulation results, even for the simple, preliminary
cases shown, yield a narrow range of 3He/4He RAs that
encompass the entire 2-SD (2s) confidence level range of
tabulated (24) measured 3He/4He ratios of basalts from along
the global spreading ridge system and lead to substantial 3He and
4He production.
Nuclear georeactor produced 3He/4He ratios are not necessarily
constant, but rather appear to be related to the extent of
actinide fuel consumption at time of production. High 3He/4He
ratios are produced near the end of the georeactor lifetime.
Nuclear georeactor numerical simulation results and the observed
high 3He/4He ratios measured in Icelandic and Hawaiian
oceanic basalts indicate that the demise of the georeactor is
approaching, but the time is not yet precisely determined. As the
georeactor dies, the geomagnetic field that it presumably powers
after a time will begin to collapse. But unlike previous geomagnetic
collapses, that have restarted and re-energized the field, a time will
come when the actinide fuel of the georeactor is too diminished to
initiate self-sustaining neutron-induced chain reactions; the georeactor will
die and sometime thereafter the geomagnetic field will die
and will not restart. At some point in time after the georeactor dies,
there will be no geomagnetic field and life on Earth will never be
the same. The challenge now is to determine precisely the time of
georeactor demise. Within the present level of uncertainty, one
cannot say whether that time will come in the next century, in the
next millennium, in a million years, or in a billion years. But one
thing is certain: georeactor demise will occur.

In The Illuminatus! Trilogy, the word "fnord" gives hypnotic power over the unenlightened. In grade school, children learn to not be able to consciously see the word. From then on every time they come across the word it generates uneasiness and confusion. This perpetuates a low grade state of fear in society. This allows government to exist because without fear, people don't need it. The word is thus found littered in many books, magazines, and newspapers - however it is not to be found in a single ad, promoting consumerism.

It is implied that the word "fnord" is not the actual word used, just a stand in, since most people cannot see the actual word.

The term "mankind" has a wonderous history attached to it, but since it's derived from the unused terms "mank" + "ind", it retains no logical value.

A standard ‘3x3x3’ Rubik’s Cube has 6 coloured sides, 21 pieces and 54 outer surfaces.

This means there are more than 43 quintillion possible configurations, or 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 to be exact.
