There are a few different poplular scientific theories out there right now...
The Big Crunch - Everything falls back in upon itself in a giant fire-ball.
The Big Freeze - Everything runs out of energy and universe-wide heat is down to absolute zero.
Big Rip - Not only is the universe accelerating outwards, its acceleration rate is increasing, and eventually gravity, and even strong and weak subatomic forces will not be strong enough to "keep it together" and everything will literally be torn apart by the ever acceleratingly accelerating expansion of space itself.
Fermion-Boson Theory - The universe goes through a heat death, but then certain chemical condensates are formed, and eventually cause another Big Bang(s) which may create a new, or many new, universes.
And I'm sure you have many more ideas...
