I don't think the words "heaven" or "hell" adequately describe what we will experience after this life. Most importantly, I think the emotions attached to those words are what counts, not a location. Hell will be a state of mind; whatever addictions or insatiable emotions you create in this life will remain unsatisfied in the after life, and therefore you will experience self-torment. That is hell.
Heaven is a little more difficult, especially if you believe that each person is judged according to they way they live their life. There are so many people, who are on different levels of obedience, that it would be impossible to say they will all end up at on place. If God is merciful AND just, then He cannot ignore the law and we must be judged accordingly. We will also be rewarded accordingly.
Good luck.

Many do believe this.
Hell being in the center of the earth.
Heaven, is in an alternate Universe, not in ours.
Heaven is in the Open Universe on the planet Namukakieweyhoa. It is on this planet, within the Open Universe, at this time anyway, and
then according to the bible in Revelation, Heaven will someday, somehow come down onto our planet earth, and God who lives in heaven will reside with humanity on earth in this Heaven, in this New Heaven. New Heaven in that it now has a New location, being part of our own Universe now !! There was nothing wrong with Heaven, that it had to be recreated, it was( Will Be ) according to the bible, and christianity will be simply located, so God and humans can dwell together, literally - for eternity. 'It is Written !!"
A revelation to mankind from the very heart of God !!
Hey, just a little humor. Lighten up.
No one really knows where heaven or hell are located. Any answers, even that Hell is in the grave, or that hell and the grave mean the same thing, all answers are simply guesses,
mere inadequate presumptions.
Hell and Heaven are where the religious choose to believe them(hell and heaven) to be, to fit their religious beliefs.
The part of heaven coming down to earth and mankind living with God personally in heaven which will be on earth someday is in Revelation of the bible, and christians do believe this.
Good Question. Have a humorously blessed day

The Bible refers to heaven in more than one sense. 1)It represents the cosmos including the planets and the expanse where clouds and the birds are (this of course has a geographical location). It represents persons in authority. It represents the spirit realm were God and other spirits live. It is not a physical realm, but is represented as lofty.(This is represented as up, but does not have a type of location that humans could achieve in a space flight no matter how long fast and far you traveled.)
Hell as translated from the original Hebrew and Greek means the Place of the Dead. It doesn't have a specific geographical location either, but probably because most people are buried it is indicated as down.

Look above to see the expanse of the heavens - they are the solar systems. Hell is a manmade geographpical place but in reality hell is the grave - nothing - unconciousness - like the state you were in before you were born.

No living human knows exactly where heaven and hell are located. Believers will find out where heaven is and non-believers will find out where hell is. Good luck. Pops

It just means the grave. So for most people: 6 feet under.
