It seems rather clear to me, and possibly to others as well, although I have no proof and no training in Astrophysics, that what we perceive as "The Universe" is but an infinitely small part of a much larger "everything", some might call this the "Omniverse".
I believe that the Big Bang theory is essentially correct in that it explains the beginnings of "our universe", and will likely explain the end of the our universe as we know it. But our universe is neither the beginning nor the end of everything. As one of the previous posters had commented, there seems to be something beyond the universe drawing parts of our universe towards it. Almost certainly, if we had telescopes powerful enough, we would see that what is drawing the galaxies towards this "gravity well" is another universe's gravitational pull, we just do not currently have the technology to see it.
According to String Theory, there are 11 dimensions, and it is the occasional interaction between these dimensional planes that "create" new universes, much like two pieces of metal striking each other and creating a spark. If the Omniverse is infinitely older than our wildest imagination, and over this virtually infinite period of time there have been countless universes which have come in and out of existence, then it is likely that what will happen to us has happened countless times before. In fact, in an infinite amount of time, every possible outcome of every atom or string or what have you, would have undergone every possible permutation and combination, so perhaps what is happening to us has already happened countless times throughout the virtually infinite lifespan of the Omniverse.
