OK, I have a giant, incredibly powerful telescope, and I am looking farther and farther out in space, which means I am seeing farther and farther back in time. But, if at one point in the distant past, before the big bang, everything was condensed into a tiny area, how far out into space will I have to look to see the time when everything was not actually farther out in space, but was condensed into a tiny area?
I have a headache.
You can't, you run out of time before you run out of space, at last estimation.
It's been done. If you look farther back, you see the microwave radiation. Note that the "tiny area" is "now" the entire universe.
