I think the concept of the universe expanding is flawed. Even though there is "proof" I believe it is our knowledge of the universe that is expanding, and hopefully continues to . So in effect, we learn more, and see more, and all of a sudden, this place is bigger.
We detect movement, and call it growth, we discover new things, and call them new.
To answer your question, it will continue to grow as long as we hunger for knowledge.
Great question!!!

If the universe was created by a Big Bang 15 billion years ago, the universe should be a hollow sphere 30 billion light years in diameter and expanding at close to the speed of light, no?
