This answer could be yes or no, depending on if we are absolutely sure if the universe is flat or a closed (curved) universe, which we are currently not sure of.

If the universe is flat, the answer would be no because the universe would be expanding and traveling faster than the speed of light, so you could never see the back of your head.

The answer would be yes, if the universe was closed, because it can keep going and get back to where it started like we can walk in straight line on earth and end back where we started.

=================================

And don't forget that even if it's closed, you would have to wait several billion years,

until the light from the back of your head made the trip around the universe and

wound up back where you are now.

No matter how 'powerful' your telescope is, it can't reduce the time light needs to

travel from one place to another. More 'power' only allows it to detect dimmer light.

What size telescope do you need to see Saturn?

To see Saturn's rings clearly and with some detail, you would need a telescope with an aperture of at least 70mm. A telescope with a magnification of around 50-100x would provide a good view of Saturn and its rings.


What is the resolving power of a 25Cm telescope?

Resolving power is measured in arc seconds. The formula to find this is as follows: arc seconds (x) = 11.6/(D) 11.6 is part of the formula D- is the diameter of the telescope (which you have = 25cm) Therefore the resolving power should be: 11.6/25 = .46 arc seconds


What are some Examples of infinite power?

There are no examples of infinite power. Power cannot increase to infinite values. Infinite power would be the ability to do anything that is conceivable. God does not actually have infinite power at least according to the christian fathers. St Thomas Aquinas argued that God's power was not infinite but constrained by logic. That is that God cannot do what is conceivable but logically impossible. So for example God cannot make a square circle (a circle with 4 sides) or create a weight that He himself couldn't lift (as God is omnipotent) because both these things are logically impossible


What does 40x mean on a telescope?

it means forty times what the human eye can see


Does the diameter of a telescope control its magnification?

No, you can change the magnification of the telescope by simply changing the eyepiece. The two most important powers of the telescope, light-gathering power and resolving power, depend on the diameter of the telescope, but it does not control the magnification.

How can you determine the light gathering power ratio between a 1 meter telescope and a 10 meter telescope?

The light gathering power is directly proportional to the light gathering area, so all you have to do is figure out the ratio of the areas of the two scopes. Another answer: Do you remember fourth grade arithmetic? Do you remember pi r square?
