I figured this board might be interested in this concept. A thing I get is I'll see a story or concept and troubleshoot it in my head, and generally come up with another way to do it, for stories and worlds it's generally something I feel has fewer holes. I figure I have this in the right place too.
The Nexus multiverse was no different, from 1632 and similar stories I've seen online, I came up with a more interesting concept.
Any storyline would start probably early 23rd century as a start. Advanced civilization with a heavily industrialized Sol system, contract with aliens, etc. I generally pictured a more libertarian Star Trek style world.
"The Event" is a wormhole experiment. Due to politics it ends up on earth, not in space somewhere safe. An accident happens, and th handwavium occurs--the wormhole breaks loose and takes large cuts out of the planet, connecting to parallel universes rather than other places. With more handwavium leading to a "regressing time connection". (I'm allowed a lot of handwavium here, right?) You end up with a 23rd century world with patches of earlier history scattered about. Corollary is you have 23rd century patches now anywhere from there to ancient times. Bonus--if a wormhole catches a spot twice, you'd end up with an earlier time In an earlier time.
The wormhole forms at the research facility, and either goes straight out, capturing cylinderical sections, meaning opposite you'd have circular areas, but more elongated closer. My original thought was something would make it hug the Earth's surface, producing rectangular areas. If you allow say, magnetic fields to deflect it you can get a different smorgasbord. For the main Nexus world, assume a fair number of areas move.
The wormhole would vary from a dozen miles in diameter to a couple hundred. The ends are tapered or abrupt. A substantial area on the edges is a no man's land--gravitational forces melt and twist the area as the wormhole passes hit leaves to siesmic troubles, but they are assumed no to be serious aside from some lava and gases.
So the fun discussion, which places and time would you displace? I don't know enough detail history to really have fun with this, and there's the other fun thing of having multiple "ring of fire" areas from different times next to each other.
