This is another fundamental question that scientists are trying to answer. We used to think that the Universe would eventually collapse, if it had enough mass, and that the big bang might be a cycle. However, the discovery of dark energy seems to have made a collapse impossible. Therefore, there wouldn't be a second big bang.
