The universe may be:
1) "open", which means it will continue to expand forever but at a decreasing rate.
2) "flat", which means it will eventually stop expanding but never reverse.
3) "closed", which means the universe will expand to a maximum size and then collapse in upon itself in a reversal of the big bang.
The total mass-density of the universe determines which scenario will be realized.
At a critical mass-density, the universe is flat.
Some research has drawn scientists to believe the expansion of universe is actually accelerating. That means that the universe may actually be expanding more and more rapidly, due to a force called "dark energy".
The existence of this dark energy would complicate all of the above scenarios.
