Point of order: when was it ever implied that the Rothla event had anything to do with dark energy?

Not that it really implies some new and exotic 'super-physics' either, since whatever the weapon was, it was apparently designed by a krogan clan.

And I think you're both misunderstanding the whole supercollider thing - my impression was that the Reapers targeted it as a research installation, not that it was some war-winning macguffin or a weapon on its own. The Reapers can easily mop up asari fleets as things stand, whereas research - of any sort - does offer the potential to close the technology gap between the council races and the Reapers.
