The Big Crunch is a hypothetical end of the current physical universe, which assumes that the expansion of the universe (apparently still accelerating) will eventually cease, and that gravity will draw all matter back to a single location. The potential for some kind of regeneration at that point (another Big Bang) is also speculated.
The existence of dark matter and/or dark energy could have a substantial effect on whether the universe expands to practical infinity (and entropy) or creates some other unknown form.
The Big Crunch hypothesis.
The theory that suggests for every big bang there is a crunch is known as the "Big Crunch" theory. It proposes that the expansion of the universe will eventually stop and reverse, leading to a contraction of the universe back to a singular point, followed by another big bang.
The concept of the Big Crunch theory was primarily developed by physicist George Gamow in the 1940s, building upon the expanding universe theory proposed by Georges Lemaître and Edwin Hubble. It suggests that the universe could eventually stop expanding and collapse back into a hot, dense state, leading to a potential "crunch" where all matter is squeezed into a tiny space.
No. Universe A expands from a 'Big Bang' stops expanding, and contracts until there is a 'Big Crunch'. Then there is a new big bang and the beginning of Universe B, a middle, and another big crunch, a big bang with Universe C and so on. At the time of any 'big crunch', all matter and energy from that universe ceases to exist. It cannot manifest itself until after the next 'big bang', and then has no relation to anything in its previous manifestation.
These are interesting conjectures, but there is no way to determine if any of them have any validity. My own favorite unprovable hypothesis is the Big Bang/Big Crunch of a cyclical universe; everything in the universe eventually falls together in a Big Crunch, reaching infinite density, and a rebound effect causes the collapsed universe to explode into a new Big Bang - to be followed some uncounted billions of years later by another Big Crunch. There's no way to prove - or to disprove - this idea, either. The truth is, for now, we do not have enough information to determine what the origin of the universe is, or what the ultimate fate of the universe will be. We may NEVER know these things.
The Big Crunch - album - was created in 2007.
The Big Crunch hypothesis.
The Big Crunch Theory was not discovered by anyone. It was a theory proposed by many scientists as it does not have one person responsible for it's creation.

Peter. The Big Crunch.
Big Crunch?
The big bang theory is the explosion that started the universe. Where as the big crunch is the theory where the universe will eventually contract and become increasingly clumped and eventaully all mater would collapse into black holes which would then coalesce producing a unified black hole or Big Crunch singularity.
If "the Big Crunch" refers to the theory that the universe will eventually end in all matter and energy being slowly squeezed back into its position it was before the Big Bang, then your question sort of makes no sense. If it is true, then it will last for as long as it has to until it is in "a crunch." And, in fact, many scientists are throwing away the Big Crunch Theory and instead proposing the universe is expanding and expanding faster as time progresses, and also space will collapse in on itself or something like that.
Big Johnny's gonna crunch ya.
yes it will happen again after the big crunch then of course, the big munch..... At present there is no evidence that another Big Bang will occur.
