Why cant we build a telescope that can see twice as far as the hubble.
I'll butt in to save Eta a bit of time. His time is more valuable than mine.
You have to be careful with the "twice as far". The Hubble already sees back more than half way to the big bang (much more than half way) so nothing can see "twice as far".
We can, however, build a telescope that can see twice as clearly at a given distance or pick up things twice as faint. The only thing stopping that right now is money. A few billion would build a much more powerful instrument and I'd pay my share of extra taxes to cover it at the drop of a hat given what Hubble has shown us.

No
At least not unless you could also reach back faster than the speed of light as well.
This is where hypotheszing FTL travel starts to generate paradoxes and trouble.

Sorry I added a bit more by edit while you were posting.
You are basically asking for time travel. And if I remember correctly FTL travel can involve time travel as a result. However, that is all hypothetical.
