Interstellar paradoxes annihilated!

Alright, alright, alright, I know it’s been a while since Interstellar released and I just finished rewatching it, bear with me because all of your doubts will be resolved herein,  without the aid of the Bootstrap paradox and just a bit of imaginative contemplation

Now we all know the basic theme, gravity transcends dimensions and can be used as a means of transferring information back in time. We have had a lot of discussions on a lot of topics and most of them have been resolved with or without the use of a bit of pseudoscience. But almost all the articles that I have read fail to answer the raging cause and effect question without the Bootstrap paradox of time loops, the question goes somewhat like this:

“The future humans help Cooper to send himself a message to go on a mission to save the future humans who are helping Cooper to send him a message. What?”

Well this is called the Bootstrap Paradox which believe me if you google it is going to fry your brains, so just hold on and continue with this article.

Now imagine what if Cooper never got those coordinates, does that mean NASA’s Plan B would have failed, I really doubt that, because 10 years ago they had successfully carried out the Lazarus missions.

They’d have easily found another pilot(even though they were just simulator trained) who could have guided them out of the stratosphere and beyond the wormhole, assuming this is true and taking into account that it was Cooper who was adamant and essentially decisive on the crew’s shoot out between Mann’s planet and Edmund’s planet, a logical conclusion could be, minus Cooper the crew would have been saved from Amelia’s excruciating and self deprecating explanation on how love makes her favour Edmund’s planet, and thus would have voted in favour of it. This also means that they’d have found a habitable planet, incubated those population bombs and in distant future these test tube babies would have evolved into Pan-Dimensional beings, which is very likely considering they have a Black hole for a sun and singularity is just a little beyond horizon. Granted that these future humans can perceive time in a way that we perceive heights and distances, time is a physical traversable dimension for them, so future for them could be a mountain and past could be like a canyon, subtle imagery helps, doesn’t it?

Now these future humans can totally see how they came to be, for history for them isn’t just a textbook it’s a canyon full of vivid imagery which shows our 3 dimensional asses being dragged around in dust and our food getting annihilated by blight and they have humanity, so what does their conscience tell them, “Save your ancestors, make Plan A work.”

But they can’t just come to us and whisper it in our ears, for nothing except gravity transcends time, so they begin experimenting, they create these gravitational anomalies to cause and effect us to save ourselves. One of these experiments causes Cooper to crash, a few others cause his farm equipment to malfunction, the Indian Drone for no good reason veers off its course and into Cooper’s farm, so they are closing in, to Cooper and soon enough they have access to his daughter’s bedroom, such pervs.

Anyhow, the point is to lure Cooper into the tesseract somehow, which is achieved by the subtle manipulation of gravity in order to form binary coordinates of NASA on Murph’s bedroom floor. Now as far as I remember Nolan doesn’t show Cooper sending the coordinates back in time , I believe it were the Future Humans, now you may ask why can’t they directly relay the quantum data to Murph and save humanity, but well that’d kill the plot of the movie wouldn’t it ?

Given that, we have Cooper going gung ho with his girlfriend on an interstellar voyage to save humanity from extinction, he makes his way to the Tesseract, relays the Quantum data back in time to Murph and voila Morse saves us , yet again.

Thus the purpose of Tesseract being served it folds up and Cooper is conveniently placed in proximity to the Space Station where he, totally disenchanted by negative responses to his advances towards women (being met with “Aren’t you like my great-grandfather’s age or something, perv”) sets out to reclaim the one woman who thoroughly dislikes him but can’t deny him for lack of any viable choices.

P.S : I don't love you .

P.P.S: I wanted to extrapolate some more, but I had a Margarita and am done.

P.P.P.S Just rewatched it in 2025 again and the paradox survived one edge case. Who put the wormhole near Saturn if humans didn’t survive? My theory some humans survived and invented cryopods and generational ships that eventually helped a sizeable population reach Edmund’s planet even without the wormhole in place over eons. Super satisfied about finally resolving this edge case :)
