If we built a more powerful telescope, could we eventually see the Big Bang?

I know the Hubble can see into deep space, where we can already see these blurred formations at it's farthest reach. Would it be possible, with a powerful enough telescope, to see far enough back in time and space and prove the big bang?

The CMB (Cosmic Microwave Background) is the earliest light we can detect.  The CMB was about 370,000 years after the Big Bang.

Prior to the CMB the temperatures and density of the universe was too great to allow photons to persist.  Once the universe cooled and inflated enough, photons could persist and that is what we see in the CMB (now red-shifted into the microwave spectrum).

It might be possible to probe prior to the CMB using non-photon based techniques.
