I do not have any mathematical proof of this being possible, but am hoping to include equations soon. For now, it is purely conceptual.

According to the Steinhardt-turok model, our universe is on a 3-brane located next to another 3-brane. I will assume this is the case. I am also presuming that dark energy is a form of quintessence with -1<w<-1/3, meaning that dark energy will eventually go away. The universe will then halt in expansion and begin to collapse due to its own gravity. The expansion of the universe would've made it homogenous and spatially flat.

As it is collapsing, the gravity of the universe attracts the neighboring brane closer. Once our universe reaches singularity once again, the other brane will collide with ours. This brane will absorb all of the energy of our universe, but with a negative value. This alternate brane will then experience the birth of a new universe, undergoing the same processes as ours but will be antimatter dominated. This cycle keeps repeating forever, and our universe happens to occur in the matter dominated universe.

I would really appreciate some feedback and whether this violates any laws. Of course much of this is speculative, but does any of this actually violate laws?

You should ask to a theologist for help - but the cyclic models are really appealing also for physicists ;)

This is an alert about a claim regarding the standard model, that got a burst of attention in the past two weeks. The original paper came out last year: "The electroweak η_W meson" by Gia Dvali, Archil Kobakhidze, Otari Sakhelashvili (2024) The recent follow-up and other responses are "η_W-meson from topological properties of the electroweak vacuum" by Dvali et al "Hiding in Plain Sight, the electroweak η_W" by Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Francesco Sannino, Jessica Turner "Astrophysical...
