Reply to comment by Factorybelt in Interstellar movie —- Has anyone calculated how long did Cooper feel he lived in the space ? If there was a clock with calendar attached to his jacket , how much time would that watch show by the time he would have been retrieved ? by tejaskhetani

The future humans had such a mastery over physics and gravity that they were able to extract him and place him where he could be rescued

My favorite aspect of this is if the future humans hadn’t done what they did with Cooper then the future humans wouldn’t have existed.

It’s my favorite oddity in stories in time travel where someone had to develop time travel and go back in time and change something, in order for them to be able develop time travel.

Have you watched the show Dark? It is an excellent show on time travel, ending was amazing.

I haven’t, I’ll put it in my to-watch list.

I always have to just assume there was a small group of survivors that kicked things off.

If I get really creative maybe there was some kind of motive for it too. Future humanity is on the losing end of a war and the only way to win is by reaching back in time to try and create more survivors from the disaster on Earth so that the future will have a stronger position when the war starts. They can't directly send matter back in time but they can manipulate energy to open a wormhole...
