We can think whatever we want and we can do lots of research. Only time would prove if what we think is really what happened. Keep in mind that we are constantly trying to discover what happened or what is already out there.

When you were first typing in this question you probably noticed at least a ga-zillion related questions and their answers pop up on your screen. If you had taken a few moments to check a couple of these answer you'd have found that there is no answer to your question. There are any number of concepts, but none of them can be scientifically verified, although some who post answers to this type of question present the concepts as though they're etched-in-stone facts. When talking about either 'what' came before the Big Bang that created our universe, or 'what' lies beyond our universe there's no way that any of the myriad concepts can be invoked without either infinity, an absolute void, or some kind of metaphysical First Cause necessarily entering the picture. One idea is that our universe has dimensions other than those we're familiar with. How many other dimensions? Six? Eleven? A billion? Assume that there are a hundred additional dimensions. That would leave us right back where we started -- what's beyond those hundred dimensions? The only answer is there must be an infinite number of dimensions. Another notion is that our universe started when it collided with another universe. Okay, again the original question isn't answered because we're left still hung up on the original question -- what's beyond our universe and the one we collided with? Then there's the idea that there's some 'mother' universe that spawns other universes. Back to the same question -- what's beyond this 'mother' universe? If there's nothing then it must be infinite. By calling up Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle concepts have been developed stipulating that every time a decision is made, like you turn left instead of right at some crossroads, or an atom "decides" to decay, another universe branches off in which the opposite decision is made. Here again the question is 'where' or 'when' did such critical decisions begin? After the Big Bang? That puts us right back at square one -- what was before that?

Not quite -- if we assume that all the matter and energy in the universe collapses back into a singularity (a "Big Crunch," as some cosmologists have termed it), then there would be a "before" and "after," but it wouldn't be perfectly cyclic, but rather a diminishing oscillation -- due to entropy, you would lose some energy each time it happened, until there wasn't enough energy available to draw everything back together again.
This isn't really a concern, because we've determined that the rate the universe is expanding is actually accelerating -- i.e. the universe is not expected to recollapse at all. This has led many cosmologists to theorize the existence of "dark matter" and "dark energy" to explain this, since no known forces should be acting on these distant galaxies to make them accelerate away from one another unless there is some sort of anti-gravity involved.
There is a theory out there that the Big Bang is a valid theory, and that it resulted from the appearance of a "virtual universe" in much the way virtual particles have been shown to pop into existence in pairs (a particle and its identical antiparticle with opposite properties, to preserve the balance) The calculated energy required for this is surprisingly small, and is within the realm of imagination. Impossible to prove other than mathematically, of course, but an interesting mental exercise nonetheless.

Guess what - you are exactly on the................................
RIGHT track & correct.
everything is a repetetive cycle. like the seasons
things all go in circles ( not perfect timed circles )
from the electron
to the molecule
to the planets
to the systems
to the galaxies
to the Universe(s)
please note the multiplicity of Universes
as well as all space & time continuum
every thing is a cycle ( also include FASHIONS for example)
from breating
to life & death
to change and recycling
to modification to evolution
to decay and destruction
to creation and genesis
to everything is in cycles
some cycles we can measure
like Time in seconds etc , planet movements
and astronomy and everything..
now what would you say about something
that there are no instruments to detect or measure
??????????????????????? examples - an entity without
- radio/ tv / cell phone CAN NOT detect the signals or information
- ears CAN NOT hear ( in the frequency) 20-20,000
- eyes CAN NOT see the visual spectrum - CAN sense the rest !
so without the means of detection - you can not detect
NOW how can any one without the proper means
DENY something that they can not KNOW ??????
" lack of evidence" is not " EVIDENCE of LACK"

There are many theories which hold that our present universe is but one of many universes past and present. There are theories of mulriverses; i.e., thousands or millions of other universes bubbling into existence. These multiverses do not have to be "parallel" ones in the sense that a "You" exist in all of them.
Thee are some who beleive in a cyclical universe where the universe will eventually collapse upon itself and start the whole process over.
The problem is entropy, and in the present way we measure it, it shows that the universe will continue to expand until it stops (and maximum entropy is acheived), and there will be no contraction.
Our universe is chock-full of black holes, but I do not think that their existence plays a role in whether the universe will ever contract upon itself. But, it may play a role on what happens after the universe runs out of steam. Perhaps, a black hole will grow so massive as to swallow the entire universe...but we really do not know what goes on inside the singularity -- the bottom of the black hole.
The real motivation for thinking that the universe is cyclical is the need for continuity. The idea that, when the universe reaches maximum entropy, it will stop expanding and all that is in it will basically expire, is unsettling to many people who would like to believe that the universe is essentially eternal.
We know the beginning of the universe pretty well, but as for the end, the jury is still out.

Matter is not born of anything and has been there for ever in some form or other . It is unborn .tha ti why it is indestructible . it has not relevance to time . It is just timeless a situation that is inconceivable ordinarily for men constrained by the forces of gravity on earth.the galactic matter being in space without any constrained experience a totally different condition from what we experience on earth..so there has always been matter in the space and the matter has been of a different form from what it is . As you know that the elements are composed of atoms built of electrons and protons and that they have been changing from one to another with the addition in due course of the electrons and protons from amont those freely floating in the space .it is the inherent qualkity of the matter to be changing and so it is possible that amater has also been aggregating and disintegrating alternatively. the possiblity is that evn new elements might be coming into existence with the acretion of mor enumver of electrons and protonms in the atoms .however it is also seen tha nature sets a limit to everything like speed , mass etc . so the formation of the new elements should also be experiencing some limitation ion the number of the constituents of the atom. This should be resulting in the recycling of the universe .The formation of the universe and its anihilation in resulting inthe creation of the white dwarf or black hole and the emergence of the new galaxies in a big Bang are more likely to e happening in space .
It would be relevant to point out what Vyasa has said in Bhagavad -Gita
"Even in Brahma's cosmic realm
worlds evolve in incessant cycles"
"When they know that a day of Brahma
stretches over a thousand eons ,
and his night ends in a thousand eons ,
men understnd day and night "
'At break of brahma's day
all things emerge from unmaifest nature ;
when night falls . all sink
into unmanifest darkness"
"Arjuna , the throng of creatures
that comes to exist dissolves
unwillingly at night fall
to emerge again at day break"
"Beyond this unmanifest nature
is another unmanifest existence;
a timeless being that does not perish
when all creatures perish"
" It is called the eternal unmanifest nature
what men call the highest way
the goal from which they do not return;
this highest realm is mine "
The whole universe continues to evolve , dissolve and re-evolve incessantly and it is a living being vibrant with he higest forms of energy of tremendous and inconceivable proportions. .

There is *no* "before" the big bang, because time itself as a dimension is completely a consequence of the big bang.
Also, the "same particles" hypothesis cannot be correct, as all subatomic particles also are a consequence of the big bang, and did not exist at time=0.

Presently Universe is expanding, at one stage expansion will result in distances freeing gravitational force, which results in chaos and all the elements of universe start collapsing resulting in highly dense matter (namely black hole) due to immense energy at this point of collapse an explosion occurs i.e. BIG BANG

No big bang...matter stretched to very, very small pours through black hole of our mother universe whenever matter gets sucked into that particular black hole. Keeps pouring into our universe until that black hole is exterminated.
Similarly, our black holes are producing baby universes all over the place too...promiscuous little bastids.

this is not possible because before big bang the matter was extremely compressed and now the universe is continously expanding.
