Big Crunch, Big Rip, or Big Freeze?

Infinite big crunch.
>Nothing cannot create something and something cannot become nothing.
My basis of this is that matter cannot be created or destroyed. But it can be converted into energy. That is where Hawking radiation comes in. A black hole is just a big converter, not some sort of void that swallows everything and dissapears. Instead of a heat death, there will only be heat. All matter at the end of the universe will be converted into energy, and at some point there will be enough to cause the next "big bang." There will be no matter or energy lost, so this continues and has continued infinitely.
In an infinite timeline, every moment exists eternally in its place, like points on an infinite number line. You are not the destination of that line, you are a point on it. There’s no need to "arrive" at now from the infinite. You always were here, just as the infinite past always was. The “problem” only arises if you treat time like a journey from a fixed starting line. But if time is just a dimension, then all moments are “there,” and consciousness moves through them. You didn't travel from infinity. You emerged when the conditions were right. For mind, structure, and complexity. In an infinite past, you don’t have to cross infinity to reach the present.
The present is simply where you are, in the flow of existence, in a universe that may never have started and may never end, but which, for one fleeting moment, woke up and wondered why.
