Talk:Intermix ratio

References to be cited: The Geordi 25:1 reference needs to cited, I'm guessing, but I'm not sure it actually referred to "intermix ratio". The reference refers to "intermix formula." --Alan 01:00, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Relation between 'textbook' ratio and practical ratio
The question that had been used in did not include any information regarding the plasma flow, which makes it comparable with middle-school volume-equations that omit the thickness of the containing object (e.g. a crate).

One can say that the textbook ratio does not account for the amount of matter needed to keep the plasma flowing. Which explains why the practical ratio gets closer to 1:1 the higher the warp-factor becomes as the amount of matter needed to keep the plasma flowing could be (and presumably is) a constant factor.

One piece of evidence that supports this is the fact that the VISIBLE plasma tubes only go FROM the Warp core, as far as I know there is NO evidence of plasma being RETURNED to the Warp core.– 193.43.89.206 13:16, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
