It doesn't seem so. There is evidence that the expansion is accelerating (the Universe is expanding faster than in the past). The reason for this is still somewhat of a mystery; do an internet search on "dark energy" for more details.

In the big bang theory what describes a universe that will stop expanding and begin to contract?

A closed universe with enough matter to generate sufficient gravitational pull may stop expanding and eventually begin to contract, leading to a "big crunch" scenario where everything collapses back into a singularity. This contraction is driven by the gravitational attraction of matter in the universe pulling everything back together.


Will there be a new Big Bang when our universe ends?

No, the universe is ever expanding and has no limit to which it can end.

In the big bang model descrbes a universe that will stop expanding and begin to contract?

No, there are two main options for the future of the universe. It can either stop expanding and begin to contract - resulting in "the big crunch". Or it can continue to expand for ever more - resulting in the big black-out (when other galaxies are so far away and their light so faint that the sky becomes dark. Which option is more likely seems to depend on the amount of dark matter and dark energy and nobody is quite sure how much of those exist.In any case, all this is academic for humankind. If they have not managed to destroy earth through their callous disregard before then, the sun is expected to become a red giant in around 4 billion years. At that stage its outer layers will contain or reach the earth's orbit. So, by then, the earth will really experience global warming!


Will we ever find the edge of the universe?

For now, it isn't clear whether there such a thing as the "edge of the Universe" even EXISTS.

Why is the mass of the universe important in predicting the future universe?

If there is not sufficient matter in the Universe, eventually, entropy will take over and the Universe will continually expand and cool until there is no possibility of life. If there is enough mass, the Universe will eventually begin to contract on itself, leading to a Big Crunch, from which the cycle my begin again.

If gravity dominates the expansion of the universe what would happen to the universe?

If gravity dominated the expansion of the universe, the universe would eventually stop expanding and begin to contract. This would lead to a "Big Crunch" scenario where all matter in the universe collapses back into a hot, dense state.

When should you receive an Employment contract?

If you are going to have a contract for employment, you should sign and receive a copy of it before you begin working - in fact the contract should specify a date of commencement of your employment. But be aware - most jobs are not contractual, most jobs are at-will, so unless you have a specific arrangement to have an employment contract, you probably won't be getting one ever.
