In Concerning Hobbits, the Prolouge to LOTR it says that Middle Earth still exists and that Hobbits have learned to avoid the Big Folk, and since men were banned from the Shire we wouldn't see them any way, the earth has changed, i belive that LOTR could have taken place in a period between the ice age and the extention of dinosaurs.
I believe Middle Earth is and was a physical place and that maybe, just maybe we live in it. People have unatural pointed ears, and some people succumb to evilness as Isildur did to the ring, there are Dwarfs, all same but taller than a hobbit is to be described.
Maybe, elves were absorbed into the Human race or vice versus. Evil exsits and always has. Middle Earth may just be a state of mind, but to me I much rather live in the state o mind than in today's world. Maybe live in the Shire, a very peaceful place, or in Lorien, a wonderfully beautiful wood or in Minas Thirth a thriving city.
LOTR is our history, and will forever exist in our hearts and minds, so it is physical
