It just occurred to me: How many of our problems could be solved if we just started throwing them into the sun?
Unfortunately, very few: https://www.nasa.gov/solar-system/its-surprisingly-hard-to-go-to-the-sun/
They didn’t say “if we could throw them into the sun”, they clearly have a teleporter that allows throwing things into the sun, it’s just how many problems would we solve if we did so.
Technically? All of them.
Far cheaper to launch them into a slowly degrading low earth orbit and let them burn up on reentry.
