Assume that when subatomic particles collide with sufficient energy, they can induce an event where a person is transfered from one timeline to another. Call these Out Of Place Persons (OOPPs). For a proton hitting a stationary proton, say the energy required to cause one OOPP is 9.23 * 10 ^ 21 eV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zevatron). Historical OOPPs from Taured, Lizbia and Laxaria in Sakria were caused by these hyper powerful cosmic rays (http://www.dark-stories.com/eng/the_man_who_fell_to_earth.htm). However, if the two protons are both moving, the collision requires much less energy...1.29 * 10 ^ 13 eV combined for two protons moving at equal speed. This will be within range of the fully powered LHC. The location the OOPP appears varies as a normal curve centered on the proton collision with a standard deviation of 4000 km, and comes from a TL with a divergence point in the past of a mean period of 200 years.
This means an OOPP will appear somewhere in the world, probably in Europe but possibly anywhere in the world, each time the LHC fires up. How long will it take for people to figure out what is going on?
