    Well, from what I understand, the current scientific view with the Big Bang model says that our universe will either continually repeat in a cycle or end eventually.

    If stellar bodies continue to move away from each other, there will come to a point when everything is so far apart that no new suns can be formed and thus the universe will simply contain random matter splattered through space.

    If the expansion slows down and everything begins to go back togeather, another Big Bang may potentially occur and the same thing may occur yet again
    "I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me." - Issac Newton

    And if there is a finite amount of matter; there is a finite amount of possible universes, and I will write this reply again eventually.
