I don't know..supposedly when I look in the sky I'm seeing the light from 2.5mil years ago.

You are. What does that have to do with my question?

It's more complicated than that. It isn't just that it takes light 2.5m years to span the distance from our perspective. Light also travels at the speed of causality, and nothing that occurred in Andromeda can reach Earth before the light.
