Repulsive energy in the far off future, will accelerate and create a vacuum void, out of this void particles will emerge, ripped into existence. Out of this darkness will emerge attractive energy, things will tend to collide rather than have distance between them?

There cannot be any "infinity" of emptiness, infinity will need there to be no activity, at any instance, for a infinity future amount of time.

It is my guess before infinity can get a hold on things, there will be a fluctuation and another Universe will pop into existence.

There is no end?.. because there can never be an "infinity" of anything really.

"How did the universe begin and how will it end?" is a question analagous to "What does the earth stand on?" The latter misunderstands gravity and the former misunderstands time.

I have posted this theory elsewhere, but I'm excited enough to post it again.

Gravitons are the remnants of a negative universe- they have negative space/time and negative mass/energy. At the time of the big bang, there was "room" for a huge number of gravitons (although "room" is inaccurate: since gravitons have negative spacial dimensions, they aren't really "in" our universe.) Gravitons create gravity locally because their negative space is contracting rather than expanding, "pulling" massive objects towards each other. As there is less space between objects, there is "room" for more gravitons, creating stronger gravity fields. Gravity fields also distort time, because of the negative time component of gravitons.

As our space expands, there is "room" for fewer and fewer gravitons. Eventually a point will be reached where there is "room" for only one "in" our universe. At this point our universe will blow apart into multiple universes (the big rip). Then the remnants of our "old" universe will become the gravitons of the "new," negative universe.
