Well the good news is, someday in the future, a time machine will be invented. The bad news is, it only goes forward...
Will kinda suck when they take it to the end.
...but see the episode to find out what happens

An epic war is coming between our home galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy, which is currently racing toward us at a speed of 250,000 mph.
Astronomers estimate that 3.75 billion years from now, Earth will be caught up amid the largest galactic event in our planet's history, when these two giant galaxies collide.
Luckily, experts think that Earth will survive, but it won't be entirely unaffected. The collision will unfold right in front of us, changing the night sky to look like nothing any human has seen before.
Join us on a journey into the future to see what it will be like:

It’s mind-boggling to think that an entire galaxy the size of the Andromeda galaxy is reduced to the size of a barely visible patch of light. That is just how far it is from our planet.
Also, everything in our region of the universe is moving toward a feature called “The Great Attractor”. This is on the opposite side of the center of the Milky Way so visible light gets blocked by dust. New X-ray observations show that the Great Attractor is a massive cluster of galaxies. We are moving toward it at around 2 million mph.
OMG!!
Darn that global warming!
That's it...I'm done.
Between future volcanic catastrophes and these galactic disasters...I'm selling the farm, dumping all my stock and heading for the Caribbean.
Oh, wait, the oceans are gonna rise, too.
I'll just run around like a chicken with my head cut off.
“3.75 billion years from now”
Ok we are soooo doomed. I guess I’ll start to cancel all of my doctors appointment and hope to get married by then.
Yet the most important question is Do I still have to clean up my apartment?
Whew, for a minute there I read 2.75 billion years from now.
We need to move to a planet in the Triangulum Galaxy so we can view the collision without endangering ourselves.
... It’s the Chicago way, don’tchallknow.
Be no one left but Cockroaches and Clintons
That is a question I have often asked here on FR.
Where is a stable, non-moving point that we measure the independent speed of any celestial object from ?
Fear porn by fear mongers!
Women and minorities hardest hit?
We’ll be peaceful light beings! :-)
Does this mean we’re all gonna die...AGAIN???
It seems they have not accounted for daylight saving time in these predictions....
Does this mean I'll have to stay up past my bedtime to see the good stuff?
Naaaa.... Milk & oreos and I'm calling it a night.
