So much for that idea, I suppose.
The simple fact that the heliopause would be a changeable limit makes it attractive to me. It adds a random element. I don't know how to use it yet, but I like that randomness.

That is a rather interesting Doomsday weapon, and one that would make me paranoid of alien species flying around with such, just looking for an inhabited planet they can use one on to kickstart their terraforming.
You understand where this is going. Cold war paranoia brought in through a different door.
