Could a telescope see the beginning of time?
Scientists are exploring whether a telescope could ever see the beginning of the universe. The concept hinges on the idea that light from the earliest moments of the universe's existence could still be traveling through space, potentially visible to us with the right technology. However, there are challenges, as the universe's expansion and the cosmic microwave background radiation make it difficult to see beyond a certain point in time.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has already captured images of galaxies formed just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang, but detecting the very first light or events is a significant challenge. The universe’s first moments are shrouded in darkness, a period known as the "cosmic dark ages," before the formation of stars and galaxies. While the quest continues, it’s uncertain if we will ever see the true beginning of the universe, but advancements in technology keep the possibility alive.
