The Q and the Borg

Written as a reply to a discussion thread under a YouTube video about the two subjects.

Why do the Q avoid 'provoking' the Borg?

The Borg are not afraid to enter alternate dimensions, or even to travel back in time. The Q exist on an alternate plane in a vulnerable form (as seen in Voyager), but they manifest as superbeings in our familiar Star Trek universe (or dimension, if you will).

To 'provoke' the Borg would be to capture their interest to the point of the Borg travelling to the Q-verse and causing mayhem there, or possibly even acquiring the powers of Q through assimilation.

Even if the Q managed to undo the damage, they must have resolved not to capture the interest of the Borg again.

My best theory is, that there might be a link between the Q and the Omega molecule, and that could be why the Borg are so interested in capturing one such molecule, and cultivating more of them.
