Dumbest idea ever.... unless of course they want a darwin award.
think back to elementary science. What happens to a star and everything around it (depending on size) when the star loses all of its gas and dies out and or ex/implodes, they have many different outcomes, all of which may or may not be good. IE: oh i dont know..... black holes for instance, supernova's, white or black dwarf stars.
what ever happen to cutting card board into stars then wrapping it in aluminum foil, or using L.E.D. lights?
