Aren't you assuming here that there will be no more big bangs? Are you assuming that the universe will constantly expand and not contract on itself. Or better yet how about what we are currently witnessing today. The birth and death of star systems and galaxies. It doesn't have to be the "big bang" but many continuous small bangs that have gone on throughout time.
When matter enters a black hole do you think it might change from one type of molecular structure to another? Matter may constantly change couldn't it?
