The Omega Directive ;-) a THz sub-atomic microscope

Chemical nanoscopes and terahertz waves

Note the importance of a 1 to 4 THz germanium laser ;-)

The former Borg, 7 of 9, used an iso-frequency of 1.68 THz in a containment chamber to stabilize the Omega particles, which are considered as the perfect energy source in the Voyager universe, in a crystal-like structure. Omega is a particle, which is known to exist at the time of the Big Bang, but it can destroy subspace and Warp speed capabilities... see Voyager episode: The Omega Directive.

This page is intended to explain the new THz technologies ;-) used in the Voyager universe. In the last screenshot you find that the Omega particles form a crystal for the first time (molecules were first synthesized in 2274).

The images are screenshots or parts of screenshots of the TV voyager episode: The Omega Directive. Roles: Janeway, Doctor, Allos, 7 of 9, and Chakotay.

J: The molecule was first synthesized over a 100 years ago, by a Starfleet physicist named Ketteract... hoping to develop an inexhaustible power source.

D: (to Allos) Are you comfortable enough to speak to this individual?
D: (to 7 of 9) Keep it brief.
7: How many of the molecules were you able to synthesize?
A: Two hundred million...? I'm not certain...
7: What is the iso-frequency of your containment field?
A: 1.68 THz. We used the molecules' own resonance to calculate the field.
7: That should've been enough to stabilize them.
A: Obviously, it wasn't.
7: Obviously. But your approach is innovative... perhaps I can adapt your technique, and improve upon it.

7: Particle 010. The Borg designation for what you call Omega. Every Drone is aware of its existence ... we were instructed to assimilate it at all costs.
7: It is... perfection. The molecules exist in a flawless state... infinite parts functioning as one.
C: Like the Borg...
7: Precisely. I am no longer Borg... but I still need to understand that perfection. Without it, my existence will never be complete.
