Let's say in billions and billions of years from now the universe extends so far that it starts to collapse in on itself. Then billions and billions of years later it would collapse into a single point, a black hole smaller than an atom. From that point it would burst open again, hence the big bang.
I know it's a rough idea but could this process be the endless and beginningless circle of the birth, death, and rebirth of the universe?

Your referring to an oscillating universe where there are an endless number of big bangs and contractions. Scientists have considered this possibility but theory is that there has to be more matter in the universe to cause such a contraction, It is called dark matter but has yet to be proven to exist in quantities sufficient enough to cause a collapse. Therefore current theory is that the universe will continue to expand forever.

This is actually one of the 2 possible endings to our universe. This is the heat death which means that the universe will eventually stop expanding due 2 its density and everything will collapse on itself. This is known as the Big Crunch. But after the Big Crunch, the Big Bang will happen again. This happens infinitely.
The other possible death of our universe is the cold death. Here, the universe is expanding 2 fast and eventually everything will b so far away from everything else that there is no gravitational pull 2 the center (wherever the hell that is). Eventually, everything will turn dark.

Well, what you must understand is that not only is the universe expanding, It is expanding at a faster and faster rate. I personally think that the universe will continue to expand and cool until the last star burns out, but I understand where you and the other people that believe in the Cosmic Reincarnation theory; However, many scientists have proven that theory wrong (sorry, I just read that in a book.) I read another book called The Universe and Beyond. "Fire or Ice" The Last Question!

As with all things there is always a begining and an ending, when something ends, eventually something begins so yes. Or maybe there just hasn't been a begining and there is nothing, and there isn't anything, no universe, no friends, not even a you. If you have anyother ideas like this, you should email me, I like a good brain teaser every once in awhile.

Researchers at the physics convention, stated that the universe is shaped like a soccer ball with hexagon universes, and that because of its shape according to them, if you have a long and strong enough telescope you can actually see earth at a different time and place. Physicist explained this because of light pattern or straight light patterns bending, and so the universe with it's soccer shape is round allowing you to peak through time and distance. so if the universe was created in the future, you will be able to see it with a strong enough telescope

Time is measured in cycles weather you are looking at the amount of time it takes the clock to go around or how long it takes for a radioactive element to decay. Evidence leads me to believe that if events did not reproduce themselves in some way they would not occur at all. If man created God then God created man. Witch came first the chicken or the egg? If you don't hand me the joint I can't hand it back.

Yes cus time is a mad made thing and the laws of time are also man made so yea it is possible but highly unlikely, but it can start a new universe.

The universe is an event that happens once.
It is finite,when it ends it will never occur again.

no one instance can exactly replicate itself ,every possibility points to a certain inevitable end, incomprehensible as it may be the end result of everything in our observable universe tends toward nothingness
