Were there previous universes and future ones yet to come?

Earlier in this forum, I posted my view that this Universe
may repeat its life cycle in a Big Crunch after the initial Big Bang 13.7
billion years ago. I gave reasons for my thought
Others school of thoughts proposed an alternative theory
that the current expansion may go on forever because the mass may be below its
critical density for gravity to slow down the inertia of its expansion
But suppose the theory that the Universe will come to an end
one day in the distant future, and returned to the stage before it was born by
the Big Bang, and collapse again somewhat like a pulsating heart which
is more probable as I too think, then another question I would like to
pose is, if this is pulsating rebirth is true, then there is no reason for us
not to believe that before this Universe of our came into existence, there was already another previous universe,
and ours is just one of the many cycles
of a continuous rebirth.
Could this theory I propose here a possibility? Of course I
am only thinking, and there is no way we can ever know. We are not even certain
the fate of our present Universe, let alone know anything about past or future
universes being born, die and reborn.
As far as I am concerned, there is this possibility of
recycling.
Now back to some thoughts on Creation and religious systems
of beliefs
For thousands of years certain oriental cultures like those
of the Chinese, Hindus, Buddhism, and Taoism, believe in the recycle of births
and death of a human life. They call it reincarnation
If this is true for a physical and spiritual life, the same
scenario may also be possible for a physical universe? Why not? This is just my
personal thought
Recycling of Universe, Birth and Death
Hence if we argue that a spiritual being or soul is the
breath of God that is eternal and live forever, and can only be recycled from
body to the next body when a body dies, then if there was, or were already
many, many previous universes, then is there a possibility we already have our
many existences in the many other
previous universes
I know some will say mine is ridiculous theory. This is just an offshoot or a byproduct of
thinking arising on the fate of our universe from this course. But that should not suppress or inhibit me
from expressing my own independent ideas.
Please do not ridicule or penalize me because of this
“weird” question. I just suddenly think of this after reading the chapter on
the fate of the universe. I don’t think we will ever know.
I am not saying I am right. I am only asking myself a
question. I just like to share my thoughts with you
Thank you for listening, agreeing or dis-agreeing it does
not matter.
