Doubtless there's supposed to be some obscure technical reason that doesn't exist in real life. For example: They need those bottomless shafts to give the air room to circulate so they can reverse the polarity of the neutron flow.

Wouldn't surprise me!! Though I've heard some people say they *hate* techno-babble coz they just can' get their heads round it. I heard LeVar Burton (from Star Trek TNG) say he just tried to get it all out really really fast to give the impression he knew what he was talking about.
