[RunningFree]

Ok here's something about the plot that I've been wondering:

Spoiler!

So Cooper falls into the black hole, ends up in a tesseract and TARS gets the quantum data. Coop deduces that it was made by humans far in the future that have been able to transcend space and time.

Ok, we know that humanity is on the brink of failure, and the data on how to get the facility into space is in the data that's given to what's-her-face by Coop through the bookcase (which I still think is dumb). Now how would beings in the far future exist if we assume that humanity died because they never got the quantum data required?

Are we to believe that the chicken came before the egg?
