It now appears there likely isn't enough mass in the universe for it to 
collapse.  Of interest, on the very large scale, super clusters of galaxies 
seem to be moving apart from others even faster than was to be expected. :) I'm 
betting gravity isn't going to win out in the end (a godzillion years from now) 
when the last remaining proton finally decays.
