We have a strong theory that most of us have accepted to be the truth. I suppose it's been a while since we've included it in the weekly orientations for new arrivals...
[But she'll need to explain a bit, for why they're certain this was the case--]
The flow of time has always been a bit odd in our world due to the existence of Sora magic. Using it, you can manipulate the flow of time, but typically only on a small scale. The natural time surges that pop up here and there are also powered by Sora magic.
Ordinarily, there are limits to what can be accomplished by single spell. But magi-tech is designed to move around these restrictions, allowing even non-magic users to cast spells through technology. Your magi-comms are a good example -- they run by casting thousands of very precise spells, which work in tandem with the technology so that it never loses power or signal.
We believe that someone created a device to cast a powerful Sora magic spell. Essentially-- they were trying to make a time machine. But when that spell backfired, it was amplified by an unimaginable magnitude.
The reason we can only call this a theory-- is that such a machine shouldn't be possible using the technology available today. Meaning that whoever created the machine broke the past.
