If there was a rubber sphere (like a balloon) that was completely round and uniform, how would it pop?

If a rubber sphere like a balloon had no imperfections, how would it theoretically pop?

First of all, it wouldn't pop unless you are doing something to it to make it pop. So I'll assume you are magically getting air into it to blow it up without causing any imperfections.

Assuming the balloon had a perfectly uniform thickness and perfectly symmetric polymer structure and was at absolute zero temperature (so there are no stochastic molecular movements) and in a perfect vacuum and insulated from cosmic rays and did not obey quantum mechanics... (note all of the above is completely unrealistic and impossible)... then at a certain point the polymer would stretch to the point that air can fit through the cracks between the rubber and the balloon would deflate without popping, or if the balloon's inflation were fast enough to overcome the molecular bond strength, the balloon could "pop" completely symmetrically, ripping apart in every direction at once...
