Hmm. I always thought the Zentradi stole the Dyson sphere. Knowing how to use one isn't the same as knowing how it works. I just assumed this was a case where Lord F heard there was a civilization that had one, and spent the 80+ years trying to acquire it. And that since then the end of the war of corporate occupation (because it was like a military base and therefore you don't let in scientists from all over the fed to stare at it), physicists have flocked to the sphere trying to understand how it works...and like most scientists, having most of their hypothesis disposed of. It's only been there for 20 years for civilian exploration; I bet they've barely cracked it's secrets.

t.
find sometimes that simplest explanation is "we don't know" or "we don't understand" and yet non-scientists hate those explanations...
