According to the general theory of relativity, the ultimate fate of the universe depends on its density of matter and energy. If the density is above a certain critical value, the universe will stop expanding and eventually collapse in a "Big Crunch." If the density is below this critical value, the universe will continue to expand forever. Current evidence suggests that the universe's expansion is accelerating, indicating a low density and a future where it expands indefinitely.
Actually, no one knows if anything can last forever. No one knows the future of the universe. One theory has this universe expanding and then collapsing into a big crunch where everything will be destroyed. Another theory has the this universe bleeding into others in which case it is possible for material to last for a much longer period of time.
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.
According to scientists the universe continues to expand as a result of the initial big bang.
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.
Closed: Is where there is sufficient gravity to halt the expansion of the universe, after which is slowly starts to contract until "The Big Crunch".
The life cycle of the universe is the hypothesis which postulates the universe beings with the big bang, expands, eventually stops, contracts, ends in the big crunch, and big bangs again, this cycle being repeated over and over. However, the scientific evidence is not in favour of this idea, instead suggesting the universe will expand forever.
1. The universe will keep expanding forever 2. The expansion of the universe will gradually slow down, and the universe will approach a limit in size. 3. The universe will stop expanding and start to fall back in on itself.

Peter. The Big Crunch.
This is actually what is proposed in one version of the Big Bang theory as to how the universe ends, in a Big Crunch back into a black hole. However recent discoveries about Dark Energy say this is not possible and the universe will expand forever at ever increasing speeds until no subatomic particle can be affected in any way by any other subatomic particle. The universe will then be absolutely cold and dark.
There are many theories, 1 - As the sun dies out it will first expand enveloping the earth. 2 - Like the universe was created in a big bang, people believe it could end in a big crunch or a big freeze.
If there is not sufficient matter in the Universe, eventually, entropy will take over and the Universe will continually expand and cool until there is no possibility of life. If there is enough mass, the Universe will eventually begin to contract on itself, leading to a Big Crunch, from which the cycle my begin again.

The theory is that the universe 13.5-14.0 billions year ago was infinitely small but expanded very rapidly after the big bang.e.g. an expanding universe could1) expand until it reaches a size where it starts to contract2) expand forever but the speed of the expansion slows down in time until the expansion is almost not measurable3) expand forever at a fixed rate4) expand forever at an increasing rate (gets bigger, faster)The current theory is that the universe continues to expand and does so at an increasingly fast rate (e.g. item 4 above)Therefore, the best answer to your question is yes: the universe is truly infinitive because it will continue to expand and this expansions will be faster and faster the more time that goes by.
it keeps on expanding
