The toilets are there. You just don't see them. On the schematics for the Galaxy class (next generation) there are toilets behind the bridge, and also through the back of Picards ready room. They aren't called the *toilet*. They're called the *head* in accordance with American naval parlance. The recovered organic matter from the toilets is broken down to a molecular level, filtered and sanitised, then re-cycled as food and other organic items in the food replicators. Sounds gross doesn't it? I certainly wouldn't want to eat on a Federation Starship, that's for sure.

Do you REALLY have no concept of the basics of Thermodynamics? This isn't even Einstein, it's basic Newton. First Law.
(sigh)
OK, when the captain orders a "Full stop" - all that stuff would carry on forward and splat against the viewscreen. The ship's crew would be functionally blind as they couldn't see the bad guys.
The crew have to "hold it in" until they get to a Starbase. R&R does not stand for "Rest & Recreation", it's "Relax and Release".
Don't they teach the kids ANYTHING in skool these days?
"Fascinating"
"What would that be, Spock?"
"Well, Jim, the word 'skool' passes the spell-checker"
"RED ALERT - BATTLE STATIONS (intracom) We have passed into a parallel dimension, anything could happen and probably will"

Actually there is 1 on the Enterprise D. Don't know about the others but I saw a program that pointed it out.

Because all the Star Trek toilets are on busy city street corners and cost 20p. You can tell by the sound the automatic doors make. It's exactly the same. Even in the little Victorian looking huts.

There is, but just never shown. Sometimes Hollywood forgets that fictional characters actually have bodily functions. How often do we see someone sneeze that wasn't written in the script? Or anything else for that matter.

In the future humans will no longer need to use the toilet

Sure there are toilets on the Enterprise, you just don't see them . How else would the crew relieve themselves?

As mentioned before, it's one of the other applications of transporter technology.

Maybe, in the future, people no longer need toilets?

They just do it in an airlock , and then open the outer doors ,no problem. As long as you are not waiting outside to come in that is.
