PS: I was going to say "Trying to descrbe Heaven to a person while on earth is like trying to describe plate techtonics to Pat Robertson", but reconsidered. -

I don't think we can say anything past what the bible really says about it. There is no possible way to know. Any answer would speculation not based on biblical facts.

Of course we have that description in Revelation chapters 21 and 22.

1 Cor 15:51 “ Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all fall asleep, but we will all be changed, in an instant, in the blink of an eye, ….the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed….that which is mortal must clothe itself with immortality.”
Clearly our bodies will become glorified just as Jesus was after the resurrection where He could walk through walls, vanish at once and yet he was able to eat with the apostles. I believe that we will have unimaginable powers and there will be incredible beauty for us to behold in God's kingdom.
The early Church Father Origen speculated that we will all be raised from the dead as if we were 33 years old. This makes sense to me. Jesus was 33 when He was raised from the dead. A baby that dies would then be raised as if he were 33 years old. A person that dies in old age would be raised in their 33 year old body. -
I liked being 33. :)
There is no way that we can comprehend what God has in store for those who love Him and are His people. We will be more alive in Heaven than we were on earth! -

There is no way to come to an answer on this matter because it is not for us to know. The Scriptures seem to indicate this abundantly. :)
