Could a telescope see the beginning of the universe?
Okay, I had a question that maybe an astrophysicist could answer. If any part of this reasoning is incorrect please let me know:
We are told that the universe is around 14 billion years old. One lightyear is the distance light travels in a year. This is why when there is a picture of another galaxy people say we are not seeing the other galaxies as they are but as they appeared when the light traveled there. If you could devise a telescope that could see 14 billion lightyears away and you pointed in a direction would you see what it looked like 14 billion years ago i.e. the beginning of the universe?
