2 part question
a telescope is trying to see the large picture of the universe while the microscope is trying to look at the small picture of the universe.
1.so if the universe is infinite, does that mean we are in the middle? in the balance you could say, maybe not idk?
2. if the universe is not infinite can we see farther in micro or telescopes?
this is hard to compare cause they are opposites but hopefully some of get the idea.
how would we make a 1 degree switch the can magnify both at the same time.
dang i hope you guys are understanding this

"a telescope is trying to see the large picture of the universe while the microscope is trying to look at the small picture of the universe. "
This statement is partially false, and therefore the answers you may receive will also be partially false.
While a telescope looks at the Universe, it looks at only PART of the universe. A MICROSCOPE looks only at very small parts of that which exists INSIDE the universe, but not at the universe itself.
There is no way to know if we are in the middle, because a telescope CANNOT see to "infinity". Because of this we do not KNOW for certain how big the Universe is. Since it is impossible for us to see an "edge" of the Universe, we can not make any measurements as to our being in the middle, or to one "side" or the other. Thus, so far as OUR viewpoint goes, we APPEAR to be "in the middle" -- but we cannot prove this to be a fact.
A microscope, on the other hand, can see only so small. A light microscope CANNOT see things which are smaller than a wavelength of light. A light microscope thus cannot see individual atoms. In fact, a light microscope cannot see individual MOLECULES.
There is such a thing as an Electron Microscope. This shoots a focused beam of electrons on a subject, and can thus see things down to about the size of molecules. Even so, such a microscope cannot see the DETAIL in the molecule, like individual atoms.
