My post from the other thread:
The only thing I can think of is "The Wood Between the Worlds" from
The Magician's Nephew. I got this from Wikipedia: "The wood is described as having a warm temperature and containing a large number of leafy trees, with canopy foliage so thick that the sky (assuming there is one) cannot be seen from the ground. Despite the thick foliage,
a strong light does penetrate to the woodland floor, clearly illuminating objects. The salient feature of the wood, other than the trees, is the presence of many pools of water. Initially, the pools appear to be just shallow puddles. However, when someone jumps into one of the pools while wearing another magic ring, the pool of water transports the wearer to a different world. When a world is destroyed, i.e. all life is removed, as Charn is in
The Magician's Nephew, the pool dries up. In Paul F. Ford's
Pocket Companion to Narnia, a diagram shows the Wood Between the Worlds to be housed in Aslan's Country, sitting on top of all the worlds." (bolding mine)
I wish I had my copy with me to see how Lewis actually described The Wood. The bolded statement reminded of Faraday's comment about the light not reflecting right on the island.
That same Wiki article suggests that Lewis' idea came from a book called
The Wood Beyond the World by William Morris. Read it for yourself.
I also remember a Faraday from Physics class. He was a physicist in the field of ....
