When I learned that the universe is not constantly expanding/compressing with multiple big bang restarts, I was kind of saddened at the fact it's not. Not sure why, but I liked that idea. Maybe the never endingness about it?? The coldness of everything eventually being so far apart and all stars will eventually burn out and just be a dark place is just meh for an ending. Much more anti-climatic that way

Not everyone says the universe comes to a final end. Hindus and Buddhists believe in cycles, and Abrahamic religions believe in eternal heaven. Even scientists wouldn't all say that the universe conclusively comes to an end. It's one religion of many. You don't have to believe that one!
