I know I've heard that Tolkien based Middle-Earth on a prehistoric Europe. But does it really matter? As we read the books, it is real in our minds so its supposed location (place or time) in 'reality' isn't really important.

Slightly off topic, I would greatly enjoy an explanation about the scientific proof that parallel universes exist. It sounds like an interesting topic. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] (I promise I won't think you're a crazed X-Files lunatic! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )
