Is it possible to use blackholes as a lense like a telescope?

Yes

So if you line up said blackholes in certain way we can build one of the largest space telescopes ever?

Dont you think we ought to use this unique phenomenon to build some kind of contraption to find image habitable worlds outside the solar system.

what is it about black holes that makes them the number one most popular popsci topic of discussion amongst the brainlet soience fangoys?
is it the comic bookish aspects of the spectacular, unrealistic and completely non disprovable conjectures which go along with the topic that make black holes so popular amongst the scientist posers and wannabes?

Derive GR from scratch right now or gtfo

A more relevant challenge would be to derive the Schwarzschild metric.

Iirc there was a proposal for something like this using the gravitational lensing provided by the sun, but it involves sending a bunch of tiny autonomous probes into the far far outer solar system beyond pluto.

It would be extremely painful.

there is no "and then"

Interesting train of thought. I guess glasses are also impossible since jamming the lens into your brain will surely kill you.

We can't use it with black holes because they're all too far away from us. We CAN use it with the sun, though.

The only problem is that you need to go out to around 5 times the distance of Voyager 1 before it will work. We could theoretically accomplish this in the near future by sending a bunch of small probes that take images in the short window they'd have where they're within the focal point (if you don't want to wait 100 years then we need them to go very, very fast, but we don't have anywhere near the level of technology to make them go that fast AND be able to slow them down again. So you need a bunch of them, launched one after the other).
