Recent data from NASA's WMAP survey show a flat universe that will not contract. More likely, our universe will experience an eventual heat death. As all matter is pulled eventually and inexorably into black holes, the Hawking radiation from the black holes will gradually dissipate until nothing is left. This is the heat death of the universe
