I was watching some show in the History Channel, thats what they said. Atoms would just break down into nothing
like after a long time, I forget how many years they said like trillions
 
Pick up the February, 2009 edition of "Astronomy" Magazine. There's a great article in it about how the universe could end. Briefly, the fate of the cosmos depends on exactly what so-called 'dark energy' is. If it turns out to be what's being called 'phantom energy' then the scenario you describe above would occur in an event being called The Big Rip.
 
There are lots of ways the universe might end, then start again:

1.) All the black holes suck up the universe, then start sucking up themselves until only one survives. That ONE black hole might start the whole universe again.

2.) All the atoms wear down, or get old and die. This one might not even be possible though, because new atoms are created everyday.
