No, unless we're all just photons splattering on an event horizon. So no. We have too much mass to achieve the speed of light.
Heaven and hell are far more likely to be synthetic states of mind in our own brains, rather than distinct and discreet places in the cosmos. We have created the means of our own salvation or our own damnation (or perhaps even both simultaneously) in our brains out of fear and uncertainty to impose an illusory order on a chaotically structured cosmos. Heaven and hell can metaphorically be peered at through the eyes of people racked by real fear and an self-generated hope.
"Ecce homo perditionis et paradisi creator." (Behold Man, creator of perdition and paradise.) Not "Deus Vult" but "Voluntas hominis". (Not God's Will but the will of men.". Apologies for my bad Latin.
Cheers and be well.

The question was about where is Heaven? Not where the BB originated.
Moving at the speed of light would cause time dilation.
I think most people might have a different mental picture of what constitutes Hell's "Lake of fire."
Only by inclination. One of those "If I were king for a day" things. Gila Bend can come too.
If god created this universe then it is probably in the universe that was created for god.All religions look to the sky or high places when worshipping. So where is heaven or hell for that matter? Another dimension? Another universe? Another time?

With, obviously. But Casa Grande is stuck with the evil Northern Empire.Gila Bend? With or without I-8?

Isn't Casa Grande further south than Gila Bend, though?
Yes, but normal topology doesn't work here. It's ARIZONA.
Bisbee is just a vile extension of Douglas.Gotchya...So I'm guessing Bisbee is way North?

Because water extinguishes fires, it can't be a literal burning lake. What is your picture of hell?
Don't know about heaven but Mephistopheles in Marlowes Faust can tell you where hell is. Everywhere that isn't heaven...All religions look to the sky or high places when worshipping. So where is heaven or hell for that matter? Another dimension? Another universe? Another time?
I have no picture of it beyond popular culture depictions.Because water extinguishes fires, it can't be a literal burning lake. What is your picture of hell?
Hell is not so interesting, but you have to go through there to get to the Lake of Fire.Because water extinguishes fires, it can't be a literal burning lake. What is your picture of hell?
You're thinking three dimensionally, though. In four dimensional spacetime, isn't it an accepted fact that as our velocity increases, time slows down - theoretically, to the point of stopping completely were we to achieve the speed of light? Given that trade-off, if our velocity is zero, then should it not be given that we are in fact travelling through time at the speed of light? As our velocity through space increases, our velocity through time then decreases accordingly.
