The sun is a giant lithium battery that became a spicy pillow and then exploded, and as everyone knows you can't put out a lithium battery fire like a regular fire. The fire department just pushed it out there into space beyond the environment to let it burn itself out, which is expected to take at least 5 billion more years.

Nah. Takes more delta v to get the evidence to the sun than to throw it out of the solar system.
