Can you cite a source on radioactive material? It sounds right, but I can't remember any specific examples.– DrewCommented Aug 14, 2014 at 15:48

2Not canon, but I suppose replicators could be limited to the elements below the "Island of stability" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_of_stability with Latinum being in or above the IoS.– JaydeeCommented Jan 6, 2015 at 16:47

2Red matter is a reference to the well known red mercury hoax en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_mercury– GaiusCommented Jan 10, 2015 at 7:41

"Any process which can take energy and essentially squeeze it into electrons and quarks and then glue quarks together to make protons and neutrons is already going to have more than enough power and precision to make any atom, no matter how complex." -- Where in Star Trek canon is it said that replicators can do these things? The TNG Technical manual says they use stored "raw material" which is rearranged to make food, and it refers to the "energy cost of molecular synthesis", which gave me the idea that the replicator builds structure at the molecular level and higher out of a stock of atoms.– HypnosiflCommented Jan 16, 2015 at 21:53

What if, due to the way some critical function of a replicator works, that the "raw material" used for replicators is actually required to be liquid latinum? That would certainly answer every single question about the subject.– Dawn BentonCommented Jul 12, 2015 at 22:27

create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~
```
like so
``` -
add language identifier to highlight code
```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible)

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
