where are you getting 12,000 years?our galaxy from 1 end to the other is 100.000 light years so even going in blink of an eye would still take you about a 100.000 years.

Well, the Galaxy, just our galaxy mind you, and just an average sized galaxy at that would take over 12,000 years to explore if you could travel instantaneously in a blink through teleportation and stayed just ONE SECOND at each star.
If you could do the same for every star in the entire Universe, if you could instantly teleport with zero travel time to every single star in all of the known Universe, and only spent one second at each star, it would take well over Hundreds of Trillions of times longer than the Universe itself is currently old.
So, in essence, the entirety of the Universe as we currently know it, from big-bang, or whatever, to now, could happen many more times than hundreds of Trillions of times over before you finished a survey of every star in the Universe by visiting each one for only one second.
Now, add to that a more realistic means of travel than instant teleportation; travel that actually takes some time to get from point A to point B, and add to that at least a little bit more time to admire the sights than just a single second, and the times to explore just a Galaxy, much less the Entire Universe start looking more like they'd require time travel and immortality just to be done properly.

or... exactly the opposite. Wouldnt that be funnier? Extremely small men, about 1 inch high driving small spaceships, the size of those 1/43 collectors cars... with the power to annihilate a planet!

The universe is so big that I think you could never see it all in one lifetime.
What say you, ATS?
However, the radius of Caynis Majoris, the largest Star on record, is 1,420 solar masses. That's 1,420x the size of our sun.
