"You are blowing up a balloon and though you cannot tell exactly when it is going to pop you feel it is getting close" Wrong model - en.wikipedia.org The most important result of cosmology, that the Universe is expanding, is derived from redshift observations and quantified by Hubble's Law. Universe inflates forever and never POPS eh? continuing... A fundamental aspect of the Big Bang can be seen today in the observation that the farther away from us galaxies are, the faster they move away from us. Depending on the average density of matter and energy in the Universe, it will either keep on expanding forever or it will be gravitationally slowed and will eventually collapse back on itself in a "big crunch". Currently the evidence suggests not only that there is insufficient mass/energy to cause a recollapse, but that the expansion of the universe seems to be accelerating and will accelerate for the whole of eternity (see accelerating universe). So the more things inflate - the faster the edges will inflate further. Getting so far beyond our control and influence and limits of measurement, we can't even rationally observe them anymore - sounds like our current economic predicament.
