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.

The weird thing you appear not to know is that the rate of expansion is actually accelerating, not decelerating. As though there is a great invisible mass outside of us in every direction.
It's not a ball of matter being sucked down and supernova-ing over and over, but something else. No great contraction incoming. Although all we can see would lead us to expect one we observe the opposite.
