No, you would see what was in front of you more or less (light does wiggle a bit over large distances though) but if if the universe does turn out to be really curved all bets are off.

 

i'm just not getting this. what i see in front of me is more or less the same thing as behind me? how can that be?

Because what's in front of you is a bunch of randomly splattered galaxies, and what's behind you is even more randomly splattered galaxies. It's just more galaxies wherever you look. It gets boring after a while.

 

but they're different galaxies, right? what it seems everyone keeps telling me (even after i asked this same question) is that i'd see the same thing.
