For some extra existential crisis, consider this.

In 1x10^10^^56 years, a new big bang could occur in the universe, through quantum tunneling.

If you multiply that with all possible ways in which all subatomic particles in the observable universe could be arranged (1x^10^^115), that might be a possible timeframe for a new universe exactly like ours.

That is, a universe in where you posted that comment, and I'm writing this right now. Maybe we're doing that a few seconds differently, but overall it's the same universe.
