[Oh God, this question. What does the Ingress do?]
[Elizabeth thinks she knows how the Ingress works-- it seems similar to a tear. It must be, if it draws people in from different times and places and experiences. But the fact that it caused such destruction on Caducus Primary has always given her pause.]
The Captains don't exactly know how the Ingress functions or what it is. But, having some experience in the area of quantum physics, I can tell you that it behaves a lot like a... rift that I've seen before.
The universe is made up of timelines-- these timelines are created when we make choices. There could be a Clover out there who's a boy, for example. Or one who likes her hair shorter. This is how, I think, so many of us come from places other people have never heard of before. Or remember things other people don't. The Ingress creates rifts in these timelines and pulls us in, depositing us in one place altogether.
Now, I can't say that I'm certain that's what's happening, but that's my very educated guess.
