ok kids, i know some of you know quite a bit about physics, so....how would trilithium, if it existed, actually work? if you remember, trilithium is the 'compound' which Dr Soran used in Generations, to destroy the Veridian sun in order to redirect the Nexus ribbon. trilithium apparently is a nuclear inhibitor, capable of stopping all nuclear reactions within a star. he only used a small missile, so one can assume the quantity of trilithim he used was small also. i'm assuming the answer to this lies within the realms of quantum physics- but i only briefly touched on the quantum physical processes within stellar bodies in my physics course last year and thus only have a sketchy idea as to how it all works. i've become quite intrigued by this subject, and see the puzzle of solving just how trilithium would work as a 'fun' way of getting deeper into the processes involved. it doesn't matter if it is actually impossible that such a compound could exist and cause such devastating effects, i'm interested in 'what if....'s. does anyone have any ideas?? :)
