You would think that this would indeed be a true statement, if not for the improbable fact that, out of all the billions of years to be alive, we would just happen to be living at the exact moment when the expansion has come to a complete stop. As a physical system, there is no way to account for the observations we have now, if not for the universe continuing to expand even at the present epoch, by an amount determined by the Hubble Constant of 50 km/sec per megaparsecs of distance from us. We see little evidence for the cosmological expansion nearby, within a few million light years, because the expansion 'signal' is completely overwhelmed by the random or 'peculiar' local motions of galaxies. But looking out to 100s of million of light years, the signal of the expansion emerges from the data just the way it is predicted by the Big Bang theory, which says the expansion will continue for billions of years to come.
