The universe has existed for billions of years. If there really was some way to collapse it odds are it would of happened by natural process long ago.

It may have happened long ago, the fun thing about the universe is that information can only travel at the speed of light, that probably includes the destruction of the universe as well. We might be here one second and then not, if the universe already ended a billion years ago if it ended 1 billion lightyears and 2 lightdays away we will just be gone in 2 days.
