A frivolous question for the Dog Days...
Assuming unlimited resources - the Milky Way
has been renamed the American Way, the light
barrier has been broken, etc. etc. Would it be
possible to eliminate an insurgent star system
by aiming a stream of iron and heaver metal
fragments, old mag wheels, dead nickel batteries
whatever, at its sun? Could it quickly implode
and go supernova under the strain of the
unnatural mass? How much mass would it take if
it was a young star like our Sun?
