I watched Star Trek: Generations and wondered if it was actually theoretically possible to "blow up" a star in that manner.
What happens is that the torpedo launched into a sun stops all nuclear fusion, which results in a “quantum implosion.” This in turn creates an immense shockwave which is powerful enough to pulverize a planet.
Is such a device theoretically possible? And if the nuclear fusion were halted, would such a shockwave be created?
