Funny, a couple of decades ago the consensus was the exact opposite, that we were headed towards the Big Crunch. Of course that was before "dark matter" was taken seriously. The problem with Quantum Mechanics is that unlike most of the physical sciences, very little of it is empirical, they make most of it up as they go along.
