Would it cause it belch? 'Cos that could be bad too. Especially if you live on Mercury.
I dunno. I've never dumped nuclear waste in the sun. Given that nuclear waste is the stuff left over after fission, probably not. You'ld just get radioactive heavy plasma.

Maybe if you got a really really really HUGE magnet, that might do something interesting...
It's already a really really really HUGE magnet. :P

It's a roiling ball of plasma. We did that already. :P

Digression: the artificial sun in Spider Man 2 sucking everything metal into it is accurate. The fact that it got bigger everytime it absorbed something isn't.

What have we learned today? Science trumps partisan hackery, if only because everyone gets bored and leaves
