Now everyone knows about the theory of the Big Bang and, generally speaking, its a widely accepted fact. The basic idea is that the universe started out as a single atom and exploded outward in an instant, releasing all the matter contained in our universe. This single atom of our universe would, of course, be insanely dense, dense enough to border it on infinite. Another well accepted fact of our universe is that it is still in motion, as most planetary objects/ galaxies are becoming further and further apart from one another. Of course, some galaxies like ours and Andromeda are actually getting closer, but that is not true of the vast majority. Not only that, but its widely accepted that galaxies around our universe are ACCELERATING away from each other. This would mean eventually we won't even be able to see most of the known universe.
Now consider the possibility of the universe not accelerating away from itself, but rather decelerating. Imagine a universe that inevitably gets closer and closer in on itself. Image what would happen if every galaxy got too close. Follow this line of thought further and what do you get? The theory of the Big Crunch, which inevitably leads to a new big bang.
Short hand of it, a universe in flux eventually falls back in on itself, creating a Big Crunch, and eventually crushes down into a single atom. That single atom becomes so impossibly dense that it cannot get any denser. At that instant in time, the process reverses in an astounding display of power, creating a new universe. That would be the Big Bang.
Now lets say the Big Crunch / Big Bang event has happened several times. We could have already lost countless stars and galaxies worth of matter already. By that I mean perhaps one day, once The Milky Way and Andromeda combine, we might create our very own Big Crunch/ Big Bang scenario. Considering this idea, the number of times this could potentially have happened can border on infinite. If smaller clusters of galaxies can create there own big bangs, that perhaps several of them can be happening in our universe right now, but we're just not aware.
Or perhaps, there is some border to our universe, and when galaxies/ matter eventually hit it, they are bounced back by it an eventually all matter, whether its accelerating away from us right now or not, will eventually come back in on itself. This would create a way for matter to never be lost and create a singular Bing Bang/ Big Crunch theory. Either way.... its a topic with essentially an infinite number of possibilities, but I think it makes a lot of sense that if the Big Bang is a fact, than the Big Crunch is a fact as well.
