Current telescopes, such as Hubble, are revealing distant objects...billions of light years away. So we're seeing how they were billions of years ago, not "today". What if a telescope had the ability to see 13.7 billion years back?

The universe was much too dense and as a result was opaque to light radiation , up to about 300,000 years after the big bang. Therefore any optical telescope is limited to that time. However there are plans to observe the big bang by the effect of the gravity waves the big bang produces on satellites, This in principle could give us information from the first second.

Our present day math and kit falls to bits at a factor 1e(-40 3) seconds after the great bang adventure at t0. At that factor the singularity already exists, and is a million Planck length in diameter, unspeakably warm, and as dense as you may anticipate with the entire universe filled into such an unimaginably small quantity. The 4 forces (gravity, electromagnetism and the two nuclear forces) have been before unified right into a single superforce, which may well be Quantum Supergravity. we don't comprehend adequate approximately this, so we gained't do to any extent further calculations to get closer to t0. on the factor the place our present day math starts off working back, gravity separates from the different 3 unified forces. we could desire to attend till the Superunified tension is defined before we can pass deeper. precisely what surpassed off at t0 remains cloaked, so all that's accessible are hypotheses in keeping with different arising innovations in very freaky maths. Branes advise, working example, that the Singularity that shaped the universe regarded whilst 2 branes intersected at a factor - the factor replaced into the Singularity. yet another perspective in this defined the Singularity as a digital particle. those debris come out and in of life each and each of the time interior the traditional international, and such an adventure on an extremely great scale could have shaped the universe. notice that the 'you won't be able to get something from no longer something' objection is already blown by utilising digital debris, and however this variety of extensive digital particle is probabilistically no longer likely, such possibilities won't be a undertaking in a pre-universe ecosystem of no-time/no-area. there's no thank you to make those products lots extra palatable. no one quite knows yet, and there are basically various cool innovations without thank you to envision which, if any, is the only. you are able to as properly shoehorn God in there in case you are able to desire to - however he's never been everywhere appeared in before.

I think Salient 2 got it right. While it might be possible to construct such a telescope, the "seeing" conditions would not allow us to gather any relevant information.

i dont think you could because we are not far enough away from where the big bang happend to see it occur. say the big bang happend like 20 billion years ago (i made up that number cuz i dont know when it happend) for us to exist now as mater we could not have traveled 20 billion light years away from where it happend, because mater cant travel faster than the speed of light. if you are less than 20 billion light years away from the spot of the big bang then you cant see that spot 20 billion years ago because the light from that spot has already passed you.

if there was a telescope that could see back that long we would be able to see the big bang and we would also be able o see other things in the past because if it can see that far in the past why wouldn't bee able to see 500 years ago but i highly doubt we will be able to do that right now

When the big bang occurred it was a space-time entity non of the phenomenon the we know existed.
No gravity, no strong or weak forces and no electromagnetism..
We would need electromagnetism to observe the early universe and non existed at that time!

id like to be on the other end of that telescope,that would be so awesome i love science and history i think its a shame that well never ever again see a dinosaur, or experience so many other wonders that are no more.

no you would not be able to see the "big bang" because it never happened. do you realize how impossible that is? i mean come on! the entire universe... billions of billions of billions of atoms... all coming from this tiny little thing so small it can't even be measured? and what could possibly cause this thing to explode? there would be no gasses to cause such an explosion.

many of the stars we see burned out eons ago, so in a sense, we are already gazing into the past

I don't believe in the Big Bang Theory. It never happened. It's a crazy theory! it doesn't make sense.
