Could the replicators be used to create the matter used in the matter-antimatter reaction? I'm thinking the replicators wouldn't be able to simply create the matter; the Law of Conservation of Mass-Energy. I'm figuring they would have to store vast amounts of energy/matter to rematerialize it as hydrogen, deuterium (or heavy hydrogen) and tritium, if they were to use it to power the ship.
Since replicators dematerialize matter and then rematerialize that matter in another form, isn't that matter permanently stored and recycled? Is that matter also collected in the bussard collectors? Or, is it constantly recycled by crewmembers disposing their leftovers and dishes back into the replicator? The energy for the replicate food has to come from somewhere.
