Given that the universe is only around 10,000 years old... just kidding.
Some of you guys have a much better understanding of the universe than I do so I'm hoping you can help me with a few questions:
My understanding is that the universe is expanding but that expansion is slowing down. It's also my understanding that scientists expect the universe to eventually start contracting and fall in on itself.
1) Is that roughly correct?
2) What happens then? I mean, is there a critical density beyond which the universe would then explode again or would it continually get more and more dense and, like a Darwin Award winner, dense itself out of existence?
