I mean are humans really powerful enough to do that?

Absolutely not. The gravity of our star alone would burn up anything we tried to send into it. That's not even taking into account the heat. It'd be like throwing a firecracker at detonating nuclear bomb.

This has got to be the dumbest question I've ever answered.
No. The heat given off from the sun would melt the most resistant substances before it came anywhere close.
If Earth's military powers DID find a way to do it, it'd surely cost every dollar in the world just to construct, and even then, the sun's explosion would destroy the entire Solar System.
In theory, it would be possible if there was a way to immediately crush the sun into a state of super-nova, but the methods of doing so are not (yet) known to man.
Perhaps if we built a Death Star, we -could- try it...

The sun puts out the energy of 4 million tons of annihilated matter per second. The Tsar Bomba (50+ megatons) only released about 10 lbs of energy in total.
Definitely Bambi vs Godzilla!!!

The sun has more energy than anything on earth can develop and it would be virtually impossible to get anything close enough to the heat of the sun that could conceivably do any any damage.

No, and it'd be tough for us to destroy our planet. Like, complete fissuring and braking so we make a new asteroid belt. Even that is near impossible for us, let alone the sun, which, at Mercury, gives temps of about 700K (~480 C). With still 70 million kilometers to go, anything we shoot at it will disintegrate far before any effective range.

Without the sun all life as we know it will be gone.
So your question is moot.
Nothing man-made could ever get close enough to the sun to harm it. It would melt thousands of kilometers from the suns surface.

No. It's just not possible with our current level of technology.

possibly. I would think you would have to know what it would take.... but i think some nuclear weapons might set it off its keel.
