I want to know how big the entire universe is, not just the observable part. (You don't want easy questions, do you?) Also, the sources I have looked at say the observable universe is about 92-93 billion light years across. See:

http://www.space.com/24073-how-big-is-the-universe.html
http://www.universetoday.com/113786/how-...niverse-2/
And the sources I have looked at say that they think the universe will expand forever, though they are far from definite on that matter:
http://www.spacetelescope.org/science/age_size/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_fa...e_universe
If my views of what I am are right, then I will never be conscious again after I die, no matter what goes on in the universe. Certainly, I hope that that will be the case.
(A copy of what I am could conceivably occur, but a copy isn't me. But I hope no copies will ever occur either. Not that it will matter to me after I am dead.)
If there is good luck, and the universe behaves as you have said, after the collapse, there will never be life again.
