Every "big" thing has been mentioned (Big rip, Big crunch), except the Big chill. I'm not sure exactly how that therory goes, but it sounds a lot like the big rip. The universe expands, causing everything to get further away from everything, making it impossible for new suns and planets to form, eventualy mkaing the entire universe 0 K
Also, have anyone of you read this theory about the universe living in cycles? I'm not sure how it goes, but it is something like first expanding with accelerating speed from soemthing similar to Big Bang. It grows until Big Chill is achieved, then a Big Crunch happens, that the universe stops expanding and falls into it itself. Eventually it will be a small singularity again, which explodes in a Big Bang, and everything starts anew.
A funny thing with this theory is that I read somewhere that it is possible with different laws of nature in every new incarnation of the Universe.Another part of this theory is that new universes can bud off from black holes. So if you could survive the trip, a black hole might take you to another universe. I just thought that sounded cool.
