Eventually, the inertia of time-space expansion will be overcome by constant gravitational pull of the mega-blackhole at the center of Creation.
Technically, if we were already in the great contraction, the fact that we are closer to the center than the outermost region of the universe, would make it indiscernable to determine if the universe were still expanding, since we would be "consolidating" our time-space at a rate greater than the outter rim of the universe, making it appear to still be expanding from a relative perspective.
