dilithium was a material that would allow antimatter to pass through
itself and be focused to create the warp field.
Rare, but frequently found in the near vicinity of scantily clad
beautiful women on exotic planets.

In the fictional "Star Trek" universe, dilithium is that piece of

i.e. faster than light.
