First off, the mysterious subject of Dark Matter. Could 40k have something equivelant to this, say like, the Warp? I can see a connection here, but have not thought too much on it. Ideals? Next, I've been wondering about some current (or possibly near future) technologies and would like to know if there is anything similiar in 40k : Nuclear fusion, Anti-matter, and Ion Propulsion. What about Hydrogen Fuel Cells? Next, Asteriod Mining. Could this be a method of extracting precious metals to manufacter weapons of war? What (if any) races would use this technology? Silicon life. Silicon is chemically very similar to carbon, so are they any silicon-based life forms? I've also been wondering about the economy of the Imperium, how are goods bought and purchased? Is there a "black market" of goods, technologies, and arms?
