It's quite plausible that our vacuum is actually metastable, meaning when given enough opportunity, things could decay. This instability could trigger a new phase in the evolution of our Universe, including inflation again, and possible bubbles/pockets of new universe. This could even sprawl into a vast multiverse structure. Of course at this rate the force structures could be vastly different from the ones we see right now, since our current structure is largely dictated by the Higgs mechanisms. Vacuum decay (possibly for the Higgs https://cerncourier.com/a/the-higgs-and-the-fate-of-the-universe/[1]) would cause things to look quite different.
