Rifts in time and space were the result of centuries of abuse of testing Teslas theories. Random in nature, these rifts floated around, sometimes in the air, sometimes on the ground and there was no way to see them coming. 2359 was the year that they started, that was over a hundred years ago. There have been many vanishings since.
