Space is infinite in size and goes back infinitely in time.  Our
"known universe" is the result of one big-bang but there are 
an infinite number of others.  Black holes are natures way of 
fighting entropy by concentrating matter and energy.  A black hole
collects until it reaches a limit where matter and gravity break 
down and the energy explodes outward making another "universe".  
When we get telescopes good enough, we will see the other 
universes nearby ours.  Because of this black-hole/big-bang
cycle, entrophy does not equalize everything in space even over 
billions of billions of years.
