I like the theory that suggests that our universe experiences eras of expansion and eras of collapse. That it goes from being almost endless, to absolutely miniscule, and then back again. That our big bang was just it repeating it's expansion process and that's where the building blocks for existence come from

There isn’t going to be a Big Crunch/Bounce though because our universe is not only expanding outwards, it’s accelerating.


Big Crunch

Recent experimental evidence (namely the observation of distant supernovae as standard candles, and the well-resolved mapping of the cosmic microwave background) has led to speculation that the expansion of the universe is not being slowed down by gravity but rather accelerating. However, since the nature of the dark energy that is postulated to drive the acceleration is unknown, it is still possible (though not observationally supported as of today) that it might eventually reverse its developmental path and cause a collapse.[6][7]
