Interstellar question (Spoilers)

And the advanced race doesn't exist without humanity living because they are an advanced form of humanity. They are ensuring that they live

An advanced race capable of what was projected in the movie seems like they wouldn't need past events to occur as they did, rather they can alter the past. Why do they need to use Cooper and his daughter to ensure that they live? Why not Brand or her Father? They could've chose anyone and sent any message it seems.

Well, Brand had to first go in the black hole for that to happen, and Cooper instead sacrificed himself. Pretty simple.

I do wonder what happened to Cooper's daughter after he ejected himself from the ship but before he got to the tesseract because at that point 51 years had passed. She probably died of old age.

? Once he came out the wormhole, you got that answer correct?

No. During the slingshot from gargantua, 51 more years had passed and Cooper had yet to make it to the Tesseract. Between Cooper ejecting himself and making it to the Tessearact, Cooper's daughter had not received the binary code on the watch so she hadn't figured out anything which leads me to assume she died of old age. I guess it's a plot hole or an alternate timeline.

To be honest, the only part that Cooper and Murph's timelines are relevant to one another are when he's on Mann's planet and he finds out about the entire thing being a farce. For all we know, it could have taken her another year or two before she figured out the whole watch thing. Yes, 51 years pass, but not exactly when he's slingshotting through Gargantua (although it does for Brand). Time becomes meaningless to Cooper when he's in the Tesseract, and then he's ejected in a time that's a bit more relevant to him.

Huh? She was like 30 when he gave her the answers, 51 years may have passed but she was still alive when he talked to her on the ship

Unless I'm missing something here

You are not missing anything Saint is forgetting that time was physical within the tesseract.

the tesseract could manipulate time...it didnt matter how long it took cooper to fall in or orbit gargantuan, cooper was able to interact with every second in the past and transcend time thru gravity because it was made physical for him in the tesseract.

when the tesseract is folding up when he asks 'what next'...the future humans placed him at the appropriate time to go back, see his mother and then save/join Bran by going back thru the wormhole for only minutes would have passed for her

I understand time was physical in the tesseract. Regardless of the tesseract, before Cooper got there life on Earth was still happening. 51 years on Earth passed before Cooper got to the black hole.

The way I see it is Murphys Law " anything that can happen, will happen" a type of being that has found a way to understand a singularity or a 4th demention can use it to their use because it has already happened or they knew it was going to happen. To try to answer your question, it is that nobody knows. Find out what is inside a Black Hole and you will have your answer.
