If the sun does explode in the far future, what would make it explode?
In: Physics
All the answers are that it won’t – which isn’t really what was asked.
The sun is not massive enough, so what if the sun merged with another rogue star that puts it into the the mass range that would go supernova?
What if it interacted with a wandering primordial black hole? Maybe not quite an explosion, but it would get ripped to shreds, right?
What if it encountered a region of space where some constant in physics was different? Or hit a cosmic string?
