Fritz Zwicky was truly insane. He claimed the sun was powered by dwarves and that the solution to interstellar travel was to move our entire solar system from place to place.

I think he called them “nuclear goblins,” not dwarves. And they weren’t actual mythological creatures, just a silly nickname for “bodies of nuclear density” which floated around inside stars, and exploded when they got too far out from the core, causing solar flares.
The concept of moving the entire solar system is fascinating though. It was used in Larry Niven’s “known space” series of novels.
