Anything anyone says about the ice-sun-lava-sun collision will be just a theory (a gauss)

What happens when they collide at .999...*c

Any physics PhD students or postgrads here?

My professor told us about an interesting and very famous thought exeperiment, but he didn't have the time to explain it in full detail.
I hope for you guys to know it and to explain it to me.

So here's the idea:
Imagine a sun made of ice and a sun made of lava. Both are moving at 0.999... c.
What would happen, if they collide?

Do we have any experts on relativistic astro-thermodynamics here?

Recently I stumpled upon an intriguing problem that I can't manage to solve. I've been asking my professors, but they were stumped as well for the question seems to require a very deep and fundamental insight in all fields of physics currently being researched.
So here we go: What would happen, if a sun made of lava collides with a sun made of ice? Both moving at 0.999... c.

Please help, /sci/. Even my tulpa has no idea how to do the math behind this experiment.

>that feel when you will never see a sun made of lava collide with a sun made of ice

A sun made of ice will crash into our sun made of lava.

NASA knows about it but they are concealing the evidence to prevent widespread panic since there's no way to stop it.

so this has been bugging me for quite a while /sci/.

pic related shows a sun made of ice and a sun made of lava.

i have been discussing what would happen if they collide with a friend all day today and the idiot seriously believes that the ice sun would melt.

i disagree. i mean that can't be right when the ice is colder than the lava is hot.

am i right? how do i prove him wrong?

Hey /sci/, I was wondering...
What would happen if a sun made of ice and a sun made of lava collided?
Would they just cancel each other out?

Pic related shows a sun made of ice and a sun made of lava.
I've been arguing with my friend all day what would happen if they collided.
This idiot seriously believes they'd form a black hole.
How do I prove him wrong?

What happens when a sun made of ice and a sun made of lava collide?

What happens when a sun made of fire and a sun made of ice collide in space?
