      Yes and No. We still don’t know the origin of the big bang. However the latest observations of the accelerating expansion of the universe shown that it is unlikely that the universe will contract,so the theory of “Big Crunch” is false.
      The big bang is a singularity which is the point in spacetime where gravitational forces are so huge that our understanding of spacetime itself breaks down, this is how physicists explain it. There are several theory on the big bang formation and several theory of the possibility of other big bang giving birth to new universe but nothing has been proven yet.
