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?

Spoiler!

I would think that from every decision we make, there is another universe that is spawned where the choice we make is the opposite of the one we made in reality. Aka alternate realities. If the movie is explained in that way. Maybe there was another way that Coop found NORAD, like if the prof straight out approached him and he said yes. Then from that reality, he went into bookcase scene to make it happen.

In the end it was a scifi movie, you could make up just about anything to make it plausible or justified. haha
