Chroniton

A Chroniton (also spelled Chronoton) is a Star Trek theoretical particle. This particle is used in the show whenever the plot includes something about time travel. The particle can be used for many things including time travel and weapons. In the Star Trek series Voyager, Chronitons were heavily used throughout the many seasons for both offensive and defensive reasons. In reality, there is no theory for chronitons as there is one for the graviton particle. The particle is also used as technobabble in Futurama (TV series), where it has the ability to revert someone's body to a more youthful state. More ominously, an accident with chronitons threatens the stability of the entire universe as time "skips" ahead by brief intervals with people having no memories of the intervening, "skipped" time.
