1. The Rate of Expansion will increase as the Universe expands.

I'm going to make an assumption here and say that at some point in time the
rate of expansion will slow down. WHy? In my uneducated mind it simply seems
logical that the "momentum" from the big bang that allowed the universe to
beggin expanding will one day stop, reverse and the universe will fall in on
itself.
I've read that many people do not accept this because the cannot imagine
causality working backwords, ie a point were the firsts cause becomes the last
cause. Also it would violate the 2 law of thermodynamics, it'd be chaos
approaching order.

I'm fairly sure that the reason it isn't accepted at present (and it was
considered possible fairly recently) is that observational evidence
shows that it won't happen.
Even before the concept of dark energy was proposed it was known that
there isn't enough matter in the universe to make it "closed".
If we are lucky and careful, we really can live for ever!
