Negative energy

Negative energy is an exotic phenomenon whose relationship to normal energy is analogous to the relationship between antimatter and normal matter. It was associated with negative particles. This form of energy could be extremely dangerous to manned spacecraft; in the words of Paul Stamets: "It will eat through shields and fry a frontal cortex like that." (; )
The galactic barrier at the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy was composed of negative energy. In 2268, the Kelvans took over the and set it on a course through the barrier. Spock and Montgomery Scott devised a plan whereby they would flood the warp nacelles with positive energy, which would have led to the destruction of the ship when the positive energy came into contact with the negative energy of the barrier. The plan was rejected by Captain James T. Kirk. ()
A giant spaceborne amoeba, encountered by the Enterprise that same year, was surrounded by a so-called zone of darkness consisting of a negative energy field. Kirk speculated this field to be protection for the lifeform within. The amoeba itself also had a negative energy charge, which made it vulnerable to antimatter. ()
Programmable antimatter repelled negative energy, like two magnets with the same polarity. ()
