 if telescopes could see further that 15 billion light years away? so if the universe was 15 billion years old, what would super high-tech telescopes see, if they had the capacity to look further than that in light years?      |

| Telescopes DO have the ability to see further than 15 billion light-years - assuming there was something there, that was bright enough. Unfortunately, the Universe is only about 13.8 billion years old - so at a distance of 15 billion LY, there's nothing there to see |
