What You think is that logical that universe1 contains box1 in what is universe2 which contain box2 whick box contain universe1 ? For me it makes no sense... |

I don't think I ever saw that universe, but from the description it does not sound much more puzzling to me than to have a room with a door to a room that has a door back to the first room. In what way does either box "contain" the other universe in any sense more real than being a doorway to it?

Like a tardis.
Besides, the universe is just a hologram anyway.

I haven't seen the episode, but the way I understand it, you have to enter the box to emerge in the other universe. You cannot bring the parallel box (containing the original universe) back to the original universe, because you would have to open the parallel box and throw that same box into it.
I will believe it when I see it. 
PS: what I wonder is how gravity works around these boxes. At what point does a massive object that comes out of the box start to bend the universe? And how does the curvature of space spread to the universe? You cannot add positive curvature in the middle of non-curved space.
