The hardest diamond on earth would turn to invisible molecule dust.
Lets say a civilization in the Proxima Centauri system found a way to travel 1/10 the speed of light (670 million MPH) and live to tell about it, it would still take them over 42 years to reach earth, and that's just our closest star system.
Why would they bother?

We're only beginning to examine the possibility of using wormholes as a means of traveling to different universes.
Why would they bother? You tell me why we bothered to go to the Moon or to Mars to search for forms of life. We do because we as species are curious as to what is out there. I'm sure they would be the same.
