Failed Projects
You start off with the best of intentions, but through raging incompetence, ineptitude or the plain fact that you're working in IT, things go terribly wrong and there's hell to pay. Tell us about the epic failures that have brought big ideas to their knees. Or just blame someone else.

Someone I was taught by had an interesting theory.
He reckoned that time, like space, has more than one dimension - though because our conscious existence is confined to one linear path in time, we cannot perceive these extra dimensions. It was fully consistent with the existing laws of physics; under this system changing the time-direction of a 1 kg object would require about as much energy as fifty nuclear bombs, so in practical terms it's impossible. He also worked out that if this theory is correct, most of the matter in the universe has a different time-direction to us and is thus impossible to detect - exactly like dark matter.
