I think about the possibility of a new big bang identical to the one we had.
If that happens. Does it means we will back and have an identical life with a score of 100% ?
If that happens. Will we have a conscience composed of the same atoms or it will be another us because it would be like a double in a parallel universe.
If the new big bang will create a parallel universe with a double of us ?
Do we live in a simulation ? I don't think so but why not. Maybe the universe is a simulation that is long to run (Calculate the time between big bang and now) at our scale but short for those who are using simulation. Maybe 1 billion year correspond to 1 hour , less or more for those who play with us if we are in a simulation.
How can we be sure we were alive 1 minute ago or if this is not an illusion created by a simulation or a division of an universe in the multiverse ? I think I was really there but ....

If a Big Bang identical to us happens, then it follows what will transpire in the resulting universe would be identical to what transpired in ours.
But the main pertinent facts are we don't really know Why, or how, our Big Bang occurred, nor whether there is room for another Big Bang, nor how many ways there are for a Big Bang to occur, nor if there is any relationship between the way different Big Bangs Occurs. So I dare say everything around any possible answer to your question is much more speculation than informed guess, and far from well formed theory.

That assumes our universe was, is and will always be unique, so that if it is not seem to be headed in its entirety In some direction That plausibly leads to another Big Bang, than another Big Bang is not in the cards.
But I think many leading theories do not require our universe to ever have been or ever will be unique, nor does it require a Big Bang to in principle include all there is, nor indeed include any of what we can see and observe.
