Is it possible to observe big bang if we travel faster than speed of light to the distance where the light of big bang is still reaching?

In the event that you could travel fast enough to outpace the billion of years of light-speed travel, you would only be able to see a small portion of it. Kind of like we only get a small amout of the light that Sol (the Sun) produces.

Sure we can observe the Big Bang...we're in it right now. The Big Bang started the universe and since the universe is continuing, so is the Big Bang. Actually we can even measure the current temperature of the Big Bang...minus 454 Fahrenheit. That's the residual temperature from the first instant of the Big Bang when the temperature was greater than 2^13 Fahrenheit. Another feature of the Big Bang that continues and that we can observe and measure is the expansion of the universe.

yes and no...even if you reach the point where you could see the big bang, because the light from that time has been travelling for billions of years the light is stretched so far that it becomes radiation, u could see the formation of the big bang with a radiation based satelite but you can only before and after the big bang, NOT during the big bang since the big bang only happened in less then a fraction of a second..

Yes and it's simple. If the univese is increasing, every object must be moving away from the Big Bang. All we need to do is to map out the likely area of the Big Bang by noting the direction towards which major galaxies are moving. A map of the universe is in the making and will help us with this. All we do then is develop powerful telescopes or satelites and point them to this spot in the universe for many years and lo and behold, WE WILL SEE THE FIRST MOMENT LIGHT EMITTED FROM THE BANG.

the big bang is just a theory.
nobody can be sure it was ever happened, and till now the theory is still doubted by many scientists.
so even you can travel faster than the speed of light and turn to the past, i'm not sure you can find it. if it wasn't true, how can you find it anyway?

Uhhh... You don't need to. The light from the big bang is still falling on us every single day. However, that light is in the form of microwave, so you would need a radio telescope.

You can observe the big bang with a radio telescope but I am not sure about your other idea.

Turn on your TV to a static-filled channel, some of the noise is background radiation from the big bang.

No, for the love of buddah. We can't see something that has already happened, with the exceptiopn of looking up at the stars. The speed of light isn't fast enough to reach the edge of the universe and beyond to see what has already happened.
Read an astronomy book... one for 12th graders.

Hi,
I think no, cause the big bang left nothing behind it. No footprints.
However there might be other big bangs in the future which we may be able to see. This is one of latest theory...
