Im not a christian and i dont believe either one exists, but where do christians think they are located. What are the leading theories? Are they physical places or something else. This is interesting to me.

In the Bible there are 3 areas that are called Heaven or the Heavens. The first refers to the sky with it's clouds. The second refers to outer space with the stars. The third refers to a place that is outside of the known universe where God is said to dwell. It is an extra-dimensional, spiritual realm that can intersect the physical world wherever God chooses to make a corridor.
2 Corinthians 12:2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven--whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. 3 And I know that this man was caught up into paradise--whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows-- 4 and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter.
Acts 17:24 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, 25 nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. 26 And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, 27 that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, 28 for "'In him we live and move and have our being'; as even some of your own poets have said, "'For we are indeed his offspring.'

Planet Heaven is many many miles from Earth.
You have to be Able to Accelerate FASTER than the Speed of Light to get there in a Reasonable Time Limit.
Or, you'd be Too Old (or Dead) when you Came Back to the Earth After Visiting Planet Heaven.

well, i believe heaven is somewhere above... i believe hell is goin to be the earths core when it comes time to cast ppl there...
i think this because in the Bible it says that Jesus ascended into heaven. and i believe hell will be the core of the earth becasue it says in the BIBLE that ppl will be cast down into a lake of fire, or they will be consumed by the earth beofre it is destroyed. and ya know, the earths core being the hottest imaginable place/thing that exist.

how fast does light travel? per second?
that how far it is, in just a "FEW" seconds.
yet, we christians who understand it, heaven is also here too. in another deminsion, like demons and angels are all around us, waiting for a word of faith or fear a word of hate or love a word of good vs evil. for GOD is not mocked
he made man in HIS IMAGE AND LIKENESS..and man shall reap whatsoever he SAYS!
if you say..i'm getting a headache..does it come?
i'm getting hungry or pain is coming or sickness is coming..to you AGREE to it? and give it permission to be upon you? chrsitians if they are TRAINED RIGHT, should battle with those thngs..give it no place, no rights onto us. demons bring diseases..lies, pains..angry, jealousy thoughts..a thought in us, fill our heart..and what our heart get full of ..the mouth speak..and the word is spiritual ..just like GOD..who said..LIGHT BE.and light was..what is this light? that is us. then GOD made the sun, moon and stars.
heaven is all around us, who believe
and hell is all around them..who believe.
again, whom you agree with, can became your partner of sin.or of faith..in GOD WE TRUST
