y'know, no one actually knows at this time. the discovery that the expansion of the universe began accelerating about five billion years ago has shown that there is even more to the universe than we thought. the past has been much easier because we can see the universe as it was by looking far away.

The answer depends on if there is enough mass in the Universe to cause this great contraction. Cosmologists believe that there may be a Big Crunch if there is enough mass for the Universe to pull itself back together. Current calculations show that there is not enough mass and the Universe will continue to expand forever and and continue to cool down. If this happens there will be no subsequent Big Bang

Life as we know it depends on stars. But stars inevitably die, and their birth rate has declined dramatically since an initial burst about 10 billion years ago. About 100 trillion years from now, the last conventionally formed star will wink out, and a new era will commence.
Essentially life has to adapt as the universe grows older, changing itself to be able to survive when the stars grow cold. If the universe is open, there will be plenty of time to work in, but energy will become very scarce.

when fusion reaction will complete out or all solid, liquid, & gaseous fuels will exhaust. Then, universe will stop expand and temperature will be decreased which make the all waste particles to be contraction when all particles will be concentrated at one point, temperature will rise and a explosion will occur in the form of big bang.

Across the vastness of time: Bang! Bang! Bang!
There go three universes in succession.
