 Omega Directive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the fictional Star Trek universe, the Omega Directive is a top secret directive aimed at accomplishing one task: Destroy any and all omega particles at all costs.
The United Federation of Planets 's top researchers in the field were killed in an Omega explosion; apparently, the particle is extremely unstable and attempts by the Federation to harness its power failed.
A side effect of the Omega explosion is the disruption of subspace, leaving that area of space incapable of sustaining a warp field.

Such is Omega´s nature, and potential catastrophe, Janeway´s standing orders state that should she ever encounter Omega, she is to isolate it, and then destroy it at any cost.
Later theories suggested that a small chain of Omega particles could even sustain a civilization, and it is for this reason that many races have attempted to synthesize the molecule from boronite ore, always with terrible results.
The Federation would seek to destroy Omega because of its huge threat ot life, but the Borg instead attempted to harness its colossal power for their own means: this resulted in the destruction of 29 vessels, and 600 000 Borg drones.

 Discovery of the Omega-minus Particle
The presence and properties of the neutral particles are established by analysis of the tracks of their charged decay products and application of the laws of conservation of mass and energy.
A major prediction was that a particle (named by Gell-Mann the omega-minus), an isotopic singlet with spin = 3/2, positive parity, mass of roughly 1,680 MeV, negative charge, baryon number +1, strangeness = -3, and stable to strong decay, should exist to complete the 3/2+ baryon decuplet.
It was therefore a major triumph for the scheme when the omega-minus, a baryon with the precise mass, charge and strangeness predicted, was discovered in 1964 by a team of physicists from Brookhaven, the University of Rochester and Syracuse University, led by Nicholas Samios of Brookhaven, using the 80-inch bubble chamber.

 omega concept from the Astronomy knowledge base   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
In an open universe, omega is always less than 1; in a closed universe, it is always greater than 1; in a flat universe it is always exactly equal to 1.
Unless omega is exactly equal to 1, it changes in time, constantly decreasing in an open universe and constantly increasing in a closed universe.
Omega has been measured to be about 0.1, although such measurements are difficult and uncertain.

 Omega molecule - Star Trek: Hidden Frontier Encyclopedia
Some Federation cosmologists theorize that Omega existed in nature at the instant of the Big Bang, when the universe as we know it was born.
The molecule could be synthesized using boronite ore. A single Omega molecule was synthesized in the late 23rd Century by Dr. Ketteract, a Federation scientist.
Starfleet not only banned research into Omega, but issued the Omega Directive, ordering the destruction of Omega molecules by any means necessary, and the suppression of any knowledge of the particle's existence beyond starship captains and flag officers.

Using the known baryons, this particle was predicted to have spin 3/2, charge -1, and a mass of roughly 1.7 GeV/c^2.
The standard model of particle physics predicts that early in the history of the universe, before the electroweak force split into the electromagnetic and weak forces, all fundamental matter particles (quarks and leptons) were exactly massless.
This theory states that for every particle that has been found there are mirror particles that are identical in all respects except for their spin.

The heavy particles (cesium nuclei) are accumulated and accelerated in the primary accumulation rings, until the buildup of a discharge is completed.
Unable to compete with the heavy particle GOD cannon in terms of raw power, it is instead a good choice to give a long range punch to new medium and light units, and can be retrofitted on older ships, at a fair cost, without overwhelming their power distribution plant.
Both the OMEGA and SUPEROMEGA are available even in a "spinal" fixed variant, characterized by the large magnetic deflector at the bore of the barrell, that allows the steering of the beam and of the bolts projected in order to allow to aim the fire against a target.

This paper may be reproduced, in its entirety, for non-commercial purposes.} \begin{abstract} The excited states of a charged particle interacting with the quantized electromagnetic field and an external potential all decay, but such a particle should have a true ground state --- one that minimizes the energy and satisfies the Schr\"odinger equation.
As we mentioned before, at least in the single particle case, that our requirement that the system without the radiation field has a bound state is somewhat unnaturally restrictive, since one expects that the radiation field {\it enhances binding;} this has been shown to be true in the `dipole', or Kramers approximation \cite{HS}.
We are able to show in the {\it one-particle} case, that the photon field cannot decrease the binding energy.

 Symmetry and Symmetry Breaking
The application of SSB to particle physics in the 1960s and successive years led to profound physical consequences and played a fundamental role in the edification of the current Standard Model of elementary particles.
In contemporary physics, the best example of this role of symmetry is the classification of elementary particles by means of the irreducible representations of the fundamental physical symmetry groups, a result first obtained by Wigner in his famous paper of 1939 on the unitary representations of the inhomogeneous Lorentz group.
Or, as in more recent cases, via the unificatory role: the paradigmatic example is the prediction of the W and Z particles (experimentally found in 1983) in the context of the Glashow-Weinberg-Salam gauge theory proposed in 1967 for the unification of the weak and electromagnetic interactions.

 The Omega Baryon
The omega-minus, a baryon composed of three strange quarks, is a classic example of the need for the property called " color " in describing particles.
The discovery of the omega baryon was a great triumph for the quark model of baryons because it was searched for and found only after its existence, mass, and decay modes were predicted by the quark model.
Considering the particle conservation laws, this interaction conserves strangeness and therefore proceeds by the strong interaction.

 VOY Review: The Omega Directive
The Omega Directive isn't quite a masterpiece but it is a solid, engaging and...gasp!...intelligent story which remains pretty much enjoyable from begining to end.
That the Omega particle is something of a "Holy Grail" to the Borg, regarded as ultimate perfection, immediately gives Seven a stake in the story and a fascinating one, at that.
There are various allusions to spirituality and it's implied that Seven's desire to harness Omega is equivocal to our desire to find God, or the meaning of life, inner peace, whatever higher virtue it is we might be striving for in our lives.

 The Omega Directive
Janeway says to Seven that it is believed that omega "once existed in nature." If this is taken to indicate that the particle does not exist in nature anymore, the story makes a lot more sense.
The fact that 600,000 drones were "sacrificed" in the attempt to synthesize the molecule and that their deaths were considered "irrelevant" by Seven not only showed the importance of the molecule to the Borg, but the Borg's wanton disregard for life, even that of their own kind.
It implied that the omega directive was the exact opposite of the prime directive in every way, which became evident later in the episode.
