Plus their sense of humor is awesome.

they pay homage to the black obelisk in 2001: a space odyssey

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?

Spoiler!

he went into the 5th dimension where every single possibility of every single time in the 3d exists... the 5th dimension is something just like... it IS space time fabric, therefore all of it exists already, and you can modify it as you wish... paradox is normal. catch 22 is normal. because you cannot think of time as linear like the way we do in 3 dimensions. it's like a strip of tape, and he edits the end which loops back to the beginning... something like that.

basically, you can't think of time linearly like the way we do in upper dimensions, all of it exists... like if we rolled out a reel of a movie. the movie doesn't have to play out for the things to happen, they all exist already
