Theoretically, if we had a strong enough telescope, could we witness the big bang? If so could we look in any direction to see this?

If the following statement is true: the further away we see an object, the older it is, is it theoretically possible to witness the big bang, and the creation of time itself (assuming no objects block the view)? If so I was curious if it would appear at the furthest visible point in every direction, or only one set direction.

The cosmic microwave background is the closet you can get to seeing the big bang.  It is the light left from when the universe cooled enough to be transparent shortly after the big bang.

A common misunderstanding is that the big bang was like a regular explosion that happened at a specific place and time.  Actually, it happened everywhere in the infinite universe all at once.  The expansion is every point in space getting further away from every other point.  There was no _expanding into_ anything, space itself was getting bigger everywhere.
