The Truth is Out There

For all you science people out there, heres a questions:

What happens if we could send a ship past the expansion of the universe? What would be out there? So if our model of the universe is correct, it begins with a big bang and the universe begins to expand, to this day it is still expanding but it is slowing down, so if we could travel the speed of light we could reach it via traveling through wormholes and then just catching up (or if we could go faster than the speed of light, which I've been told is highly improbable)

So 2 things arise, if the expansion is slowing, there must be some type of force out there that is slowing down the speed of the blast. So what kind of force would it be? I know some people believe that the universe could actually compact again and basically go back to year zero, so secondly is this force pushing back on us or just an obstacle in space?

I guess this article could solve most of the questions:

But any theories?
