Physicists at Harvard University have suggested that the universe could end almost as abruptly as it began.

So pretty much an infinite loop of repeating Big Bangs. Not Big Crush or Infinite Expansion until it's a cold dead universe but just one after another, repeating Big Bangs.

 

That is if I am understanding it correctly and I wouldn't place any bets on the fact that I am.

If you read the source article, the ultimate fate of the universe is not well  understood.

 There's a problem with this prediction of universal doom. It's spelled out in the article linked in the original post. It notes that the calculations that would see the universe end in this way, do not take the effects of dark matter into account. As dark matter accounts for about 80 percent of the universe, I wouldn't put too much stock in this prediction.

You are a very lucky person if your worst fear is this.  Just sayin'

That's a nice way to look at it, but it's far from my worst fear.
