Dear Sir/Madam,
               I Have read that if omega = 1(density parameter) 
then the universe will expand to a gravitational standstill.
    Is this possible when there are black holes that will suck in 
matter getting larger all the time increaseing their grvitational 
power. The smallest of disturbances would create large 
gravitational bodies that would increase the rate at which matter 
would clump together and before you know it there would be a big 
crunch.
          
Thanking you in advance.

Niall

PS   Do you know where I can get any information on "the great 
attractor"?
