To the Future, and Beyond	comment	Contrary to certain well-regarded opinions, there is always more of the future. Did you visit 2032, taste a ratburger, and even learn how to use the seashells? Why stop there? Why not take a jaunt to the 23rd century, stow away aboard a starship and seek out new life and new civilizations? Or skip ahead a few millennia, enlist in the Imperial Guard and fight for the glory of the God-Emperor of Mankind? Just be careful you don't go too far, or else you might run into malicious little transhumans in flying capsules festooned with all kinds of lethal gadgetry... Some works treat "the future" as a brick wall: once you get there, you don't get to go any further. Others are well aware that once you introduce anything beyond the mundane present day, the sky's the limit (or, more accurately, the Natural End of Time).

To the Future, and Beyond / int_1093b828	comment	In Future Times Three, by René Barjavel, the protagonists visit both the year 2052 — where they witness the collapse of civilization — and the year 100.000, where what's left of mankind has evolved into something unrecognizable. Some reconnaissance trips between the two ages help them understand how this evolution took place.

To the Future, and Beyond / int_1365ffcf	comment	The third novel of the Spin trilogy ends with Isaac, Treya/Allison, and Turk traveling to a faraway human colony at sublight speeds but with Time Dilation, allowing for days to pass for the travelers instead of millennia. Then Treya/Allison and Turk stay with the humans, while Isaac continues on his journey, eventually seeing the stars winking out and even black holes evaporating. Meanwhile, humans and other races have learned to "upload" themselves to the Hypothetical network to survive the end of the universe. Isaac follows suit and finds himself in the Multiverse among other ancient races that have survived the ends of their universes.

The last three chapters are set, respectively, in an indeterminate age at least 1000 years ahead, 30 million years in the future, and 500 million years in the future. The book ends with the death of the last descendant of the human race (that evolved into a myriad new forms but lost their intellect in the process).

To the Future, and Beyond / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek already takes place in our future in the first place, but occasionally the crews have to deal with time travelers from even much farther away in the future. Some examples are the Vorgons from The Next Generation episode "Captain's Holiday", Captain Braxton and the time ship USS Relativity from Voyager, or Daniels and his enemies in the Temporal Cold War from Star Trek: Enterprise. In the third season of Star Trek: Discovery, to avert a galactic apocalypse, the titular ship and her crew take a one-way trip 930 years into the future, to the year 3189.

To the Future, and Beyond / int_8ac6fdfb	comment	In Millennium (1989), agents from the future (31st Century) are using desperate means to replace the dying human race with people abducted from the 20th century from airplanes just before they crash. Due to the deteriorating time line, however, the 31st Century is rocked by temporal distortions (or timequakes) which force the re-population effort to rely on their backup plan: send everyone into the far, far future. The fate of the main characters (and possibly humanity?) is represented by 1980s abstract visual effects.

In Action Comics #289, Supergirl talked her cousin into paying a visit to their Legion teammates, but leaving the timestream ten years later than usual to meet the adult Legionnaires. The Immortal Superman: Superman has travelled to the 1,020th century but he's unable to go back to the past because the Time Trapper has blocked the timestream. Superman's only recourse is propelling further and further into the future until he stumbles upon a way back to his era. Justice League 3000: Lampshaded. Supergirl gets trapped in an alternate, awful future where the Justice League is made up for half-assed, jerkass clones of the originals. When she asks if her rocketship can send her further into the future, she's told she's stuck. A Mind-Switch in Time: Inverted. Superman gets trapped into a time-loop. Since he can't break it by time-travelling to the future, he decides to test Einstein's theory that time isn't linear but a full loop: he flings himself into the past and travels the entire timestream backwards until emerging one day after the time-loop. Superman Family: In #200, Supergirl gets ambushed by a Time Beast as travelling across time. Her only way to escape is to fly towards the end of time where the Time Beast can't survive. The Unknown Supergirl: Kara travels several thousands of years into the future, instead of "just" to the 31st century, hoping to find a way to regain her powers. In The Condemned Legionnaires, Kara briefly mentions one prior adventure where she travelled beyond the 30th century. In The Living Legends Of Superman, Kal-El runs into a dangerous cosmic anomaly, and although he manages to dissipate it, he is hurtled far into the future, crashing in the year 5,902. The final story, "The Exile at the Edge of Eternity", is set at least seven million years after Superman's time.

It's vaguely described as "hundreds, maybe thousands of years in the future", and is apparently as far as the time machine would allow. Worth mentioning, the trope isn't played straight and that's well justified: the farther you go, the more imprecise and unstable everything gets (like, the location of arrival and such). Traveling as far as Joe eventually does, even destroys his time machine.

To the Future, and Beyond / int_e270b7e1	comment	Genius: The Transgression: Time travel is a dodgy proposition, since trips to the same era doesn't reliably bring you to the same events, but a general progression of epochs is established as the most common destinations that time-travellers find themselves in: The near future, up to about fifty years hence, is mostly home to the immediate descendants of modern cultures, and to people using slightly more advanced versions of modern technology; this is usually similar enough to current tech that it if is brought back it doesn't count as Wonders. Travelers heading ten years in the future usually find themselves amidst The Rapture; travel to fifty years hence instead brings you to an ice age where robots are warring against humanity. A few hundred years on, technology becomes more complex — internal AI is often seen among scientists, police officers, and spies — and the line between regular people and Geniuses starts to blur. A hundred years in the future, the serpent masters of Lemuria use its control of the Internet to take over humanity's computerized brains and rule the world, but their rule eventually slips and they're assimilated into human civilization. Two hundred years later, the Martian Empire manages to make itself real and takes over the Solar System, beginning a golden age of interstellar culture. Travel thousands of years ahead, and humanity begins to be more and more altered; life extension and the digital preservation of deceased minds are common. A thousand years in the future, the Solar System is a patchwork of human and posthuman nations. Ten thousand years hence, its worlds are ruled by a cruel despot. Tens of thousands of years hence, humans possess immense personal power thanks to ages of genetic and technological augmentation. 50,000 years in the future, a civilization of godlike, immortal people rules the stars; 100,000 years hence, the world is a sterile waste, sometimes replaced by complex megastructures, while humanity's minds live as gods in digital worlds. Millions of years from the present, metahumanity resembles modern folk about as much as we do apes. Powerful, undying and fey, they live in Dyson spheres, digital simulations and stranger things, and their morality rarely resembles that of modern men. Hundreds of millions of years from now, humanity and metahumanity are gone, but new life inhabits Earth. In 100 million years, androids, beast-men and stranded aliens live in barbaric societies amidst the ruins of ancient technology and ancient, mad machines on a new supercontinent and on the terraformed Solar worlds. 500 million years hence, new intelligences evolve from far-future animals in a primitive Earth under a tired Sun. A billion years from now, the Solar System is an interstellar hub for travelers, criminals and scoundrels from countless alien races. Past that point, time travelers find a slowly dying cosmos as history approaches the Natural End of Time. Five billion years hence, the last intelligent life on Earth lives in a blasted waste; ten billion years hence, the Sun is surrounded by a Dyson sphere home to nightmare beings birthed from ancient computers; one trillion years hence, a darkened universe twitches through its last motions; and past that, there is only eternal darkness and strange minds birthed from quantum foam.

To the Future, and Beyond / int_e3bc88fc	comment	In The Accidental Time Machine, by Joe Haldeman, a malfunctioning piece of equipment keeps "jumping" into the future and carrying anything it touches with it. Also, each jump is twelve times longer than the previous one. Among the ages visited by the protagonist are: a near-future where he is a minor celebrity as the man who vanished fifteen years prior; a twenty-third century where the Second Coming (actually a self-important AI posing as Jesus) has turned the eastern United States into a theocracy; a Post-Scarcity Economy in the fifth millennium where everybody is rich, pampered by AIs and quite vapid and shallow as a result; a series of futures where humans apparently mess up Earth beyond repair and leave it forever.
