This is gonna sound mega silly now but its been bugging me for ages.
You know the plasma conduits, are they made out of the same plasma thats in your blood becoz if they are, we cud all donate blood and make warp drive and stuff. 1 step closer 2 the star trek dream

Common misconception, Plasma in your Blood is not the same, Plasma is a Large source of energy, so far only true Plasma has been made on Stars like our sun

Going on my memory of highschool ap chem, I remember my teacher discribing plasma as "the 4th state of matter, or basically highly energized gas." Which is different than the kind of plasma you donate

Dilithium is simply two lithium atoms bonded together.
Its not a very likely bonding, chemically speaking, but its not impossible.
The real problem is that there's absolutely no reason that dilithium would interact differently with antimatter than anything else. Certainly not in such a way that we could violate the laws of reletivity.

Ancient Chinese Proverb:
One who asks a question is a fool for a few minutes;
One who doesn't ask a question is a fool for a lifetime.
Answering questions in star trek is why we're here. We debate everything which, in reality, every way works! So don't worry about making yourself foolish, unless your trying, which then I have a few questions...
