Been pondering this one for a while, why can't we look back beyond the Big Bang? and the only solution I can come up with is that because we can't pull data from beyond that point Due to it all being smashed into a singularity. That the only way to extrapolate what came before is to look forward.
Everything is cyclic, time and space included, so if we peer as far forward into the future as we possibly can, then perhaps we can see the end of the cycle of this space, and the beginning of the next universe. (Same goes for time, as we measure time from the beginning of the universe.)
There was some talk of the great expansion, the universe pushing outwards from the Big Bang and cooling down. This rapid expansion followed by an inevitable contraction as gravity took over and brought us all into a single point once again in The Big Crunch.
Seems logical, but we have established that due to the interaction of dark energy / dark matter within the universe, things are actually speeding up, the expansion is not slowing as expected but it is actually getting faster.
So let's push that further out, and as things expand faster and faster, I propose that eventually the force differential on each atom will overcome the strong and weak forces holding the molecules together, I call this moment "Dissolution" or essentially the dissolving of all matter into energy.
Now we know that waves like to propagate into each other, smooth out and move the waves nearby until they are all cycling at the same frequency. And what happens when two waves meet up perfectly? Amplitude peaks. Cycles merge and become a universe spanning super-wave.
So now we have a universe full of matter turned energy, and cycling as one until all the wave-forms merge into one giant amplitude peak. If this doesn't sound like a textbook example of a Big Bang event, I don't know what does.
So really the heat death and dissolution of the universe is nothing to worry about, it's just the fresh singularity from which the next greater universe will spread, an infinite cycle of shells expanding out past the previous again and again.
Mind-blowing stuff right there. Literally the clock speed of the universal computer.
Of course completely theoretical, and just a random pondering on the nature of the end-beginning.
