What is more deadly force?

And say can water the same volume and size of the sun (let's play pretend) thrown towards the sun put out the flames? Can they cancel each other out?

I'd say if you have enough water, in theory, if you threw it all at the sun, couldn't u put it out?

As Demitri says: "Rock, dynamite with a cuttable wick, and scissors." Paper sucks.

No. All the water would vaporize before it got there.

As far as the Earth goes, I'll say water. Floods have caused more damage than fires I think. And let us not forget what Noah had to go through.

Wrong, if you had an infinite amount of water the sun could be put out, as the sun does not have an infinite amount of energy.

That of course excludes the whole variables of density and gravity and fusion and all that.

So what you're saying is the sun can only be left to it's own demise, otherwise untouchable? Is water that's evaporized gone completely or is it still water in another state/form less visible (up in the clouds)? On earth, doesn't it come back down to earth in the form of rain water? I guess in space it's a whole different matter.

Another thing, correct me if I'm wrong, is that you can measure water in terms of its volume (a unit 1 litre of water) and temperature, but how can one quantify fire? Fire can shrink and grow, there's no saying what a unit of fire is, is there?

Am I making sense?

Woops forgot about that part.

Well then you would have to compare the specific heat if water, to the energy the sun contains, and I am pretty sure that since the sun continues making more energy the sun would win.

That's what I would think.

But wouldn't this vaporization increase the speed at which the sun cooled down. So if you had infinite water, you could eventually cool the sun down to a stable state (i have no idea how nuclear fission/fusion [forget which] work).

In the same quantities, or in real life, in general?

Well, I think that fire is more damaging if you have equal amounts of them doing their damage. But in real life, on this planet, water does more damage, simply because it's far more frequently moving and available. Fire is infrequent.

Now, if we had a ball of fire (the sun) and a ball of equal mass of water, and crashed them into each-other... I'm not sure WHAT would happen. Probably wouldn't be very safe, though.

The sun would float on a virtual ocean.

before or after almost instantly evaporating it? 😛
