Some people believe that if, or when, we have a telescope (or some tool) powerful enough, we will be able to see back in time (into the past) and witness the Big Bang, or the Creation, or whatever.

I find it fascinating, that light viewed through a telescope, is actually old light. The further you see, the older the light. It makes sense to me, but does it really make any difference? We’re in the present, not the past.

If this tool had a pretty good zoom, could I see my birth?

Hell if I know, but I think about shit like this on Sundays.
