From the 1940's until about 2000 when dark energy (or rather the acceleration of expansion) was discovered.
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.
With continual observations:Big Crunch: Galaxies would continue to appear blue shifted.Big Rip: Galaxies would continue to appear be red shifted.To Do: Well nothing, absolutely nothing, - nothing to loose any sleep over. Even if the "big crunch" was detected to occur, it wouldn't happen for at least 14 billion years.
For starters, the universe was formed from a big bang not crunch.When the big bang happened a bunch of rocks and gases were in space.The rocks and gases then clumped together and then planets were formed.

The Big Crunch - album - was created in 2007.
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.
The Big Crunch hypothesis.

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.
the big bang
When they theorized the big bang theory back in 1928!
Big Crunch?
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.
