Yes some scientist belief that it may start to contract one day and will again start expanding with the second big bang

It will continue to expand, in fact we live in aRunaway Universe with an acceleratingexpansion. This is the result of gravity!
But with the opposite sign, sort of an anti-gravity. You see, matter, energy, and pressure all contribute to gravity.
Our universe is about 2/3 dark energy and the rest is matter (ordinary and dark) as measured by energy and mass content. Recall E=m⋅c2E=m⋅c2is the rest mass energy.
The pressure associated with the dark energy is negative. And in the equations of general relativity it enters with 3 times the weight of the dark energy’s term, which is positive.
The matter weighs in at 1/3 approximately, and the dark energy at 2/3 and they are both attractive, the kind of gravity you are used to. But the dark energy pressure weighs in at -2, and the sum of everything is around -1 in units of the critical mass energy density. A negative result here means that on the largest scales, above that of clusters of galaxies the universe will continue to expand, in a runaway fashion.
