You may be looking for Eternal return.

The cyclic universe was a theory that the universe existed in an infinite self-sustaining cycle of new universes which all began in Big Bangs resulting from the Big Crunches of the universe preceeding them.

The Seventh Doctor believed that his universe was part of such a cycle, with the Great Old Ones' universe being the universe which came before his. (PROSE: All-Consuming Fire [+]Loading...["All-Consuming Fire (novel)"])

By one account, this model was unrealistic due to entropy. (PROSE: A Bell Ringing in an Empty Sky [+]Loading...["A Bell Ringing in an Empty Sky (short story)"])

A similar concept was the cycle of universal regeneration, which occurred on a different scale to universal lifetimes. (PROSE: The Coming of the Terraphiles [+]Loading...["The Coming of the Terraphiles (novel)"])
