Sending some people into the far future
And I mean faaaaar future. Like, twenty thousand years minimum. 13 million years at maximum.
Let's say the Earth is doomed and to avoid the impending extinction of the human race, we throw most of our eggs in the space colonization basket and then set a few thousand people aside for the crazy, last ditch effort in case all attempts to colonize other planets fail. We're going to send these people into the distant future, far enough for the Earth to heal from this disaster, in the hopes that they'll retake the planet and assure the human race continues to thrive on planet Earth.
How would this work? Is there any scientifically plausible way this could be done and could it be done in the next 200-300 years? I don't necessarily mean time travel here (although that seems like the most likely solution), just anything that'll get these people from point A in our present to point B in the far, far future.
