So what if two stars collide and the poles are facing opposite directions?

You failed science class, didn't you? Coulomb Force says otherwise.

I guess this is news because a magnet implies constrained degrees of freedom, which is surprising to find in such a hot place?

How did they look inside stars? Did they put a giant probe inside them? How did they reach the stars? Did they already have FTL technology?

Wait how is this a surprise to anyone? It's no secret that stars have incredible magnetic fields, which must have some magnetic source, right?

The real question is, if stars are mostly made up of hydrogen plasma, or protons, then are stars the most acidic things in the universe?

Nope, because what the sun is made of is essentially plasma, and plasma is electrically neutral medium of unbound positive and negative particles, which means the overall charge of plasma is zero. Since acidity is determined by how willing it is to go give up a proton, it can be decided that the sun isn't at all, acidic in nature.

What if a sun made of positive magnet colides with a sun made of negative magnet?
