However, you'd still not be able to make our sun fuse silicon. | |
| Apr 7, 2015 at 2:18 | comment | added | Mark McKenna | after the comet evaporates, will its particles lose momentum and fail to actually collide with the sun? My assumption would be that the iron mass would still likely enter the sun, having been trapped by its gravitational field. | |
