Satan's casting out: Spatial or dimensional?

Has anyone else ever had the thought that when Satan was cast out of God's presence, it wasn't necessarily that he was cast out of a certain space known as Heaven, but he and his angels were cast out of the higher dimension(s) that is beyond time itself. It is my thinking that they inhabit a fourth spatial dimension, but that are contained within time since the scriptures prescription for determining a true prophet from a false one is that he is accurate 100% of the time. If Satan was beyond time, he could duplicate this feat. This would also explain how in the beginning of the book of Job when all the sons of God were assembled, Satan was able to be, spatially, among them although it was after he was cast out.

    The book of Job tells us that, for a time at least, Satan still had access to heaven and to the throne of God. “One day the angels came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them. The LORD said to Satan, ’Where have you come from?’ Satan answered the LORD, ‘From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it’” (Job 1:6-7). Apparently at that time, Satan was still moving freely between heaven and earth, speaking to God directly and answering for his activities. At what point God discontinued this access is unknown.

    Does Satan still have access to Heaven? Why does God allow Satan to enter Heaven, as recorded in the Bible?

    I have no evidence for it, but that is somewhat how I gather that the place where the Son went to be with the Father was, "up above all the heavens", (Ephesians 4:10; ISV), "the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee", (1 Kings 8:27 ; KJV), and "Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool." (Isaiah 66:1; NIV).
