Interstellar: If Cooper was never supposed to go into space….?

How was he able to give himself and Murph the NASA coordinates?
Michael Caine’s character clearly asks him during his discovery of the NASA base to pilot the mission. This is the first of Cooper hearing of such a mission. If he never leaves, how does he send the NASA coordinates and the quantum data from Gargantuan back to himself and his daughter through the dust and the watch?
Is it just a poetic license?

Coop is good friends with Dr. Strange. Let it go.
In all seriousness Interstellar is probably my favorite movie of all time.

I think you mean he was always supposed to go to space.

well, maybe, but the main question is this...
how did he send the message if he wasn't in space, yet, at the beginning of the movie?

I think you answer your own question here. Cooper obviously had to go into space, because he did go in to space.
Seriously, I would suggest watching the movie again very soon, and then revisit it in a couple of weeks. You’ll see things you may have missed the first time, or in some cases you’ll have a different perspective on things you see based on what you now know.

But he was in space.

Are you referring to Nolan’s nonlinear form of storytelling? In the beginning of Interstellar we’re actually watching something that happens later in the Cooper’s life and Nolan jumps back to present time after it.

I don’t think I’ve ever watched a movie that had as many implausible things in it as this one.

Time travel as a concept will always have logical fallacies and paradoxes
There’s a few different schools of thought on resolving those contradictions by scientists, I wouldn’t expect a movie director to come up with an ironclad one.
I believe one theory that Nolan likely based the story on, is that “timelines” run in a running string of tall loops and wormholes could Potentially accelerate you to the next loop, which would be an identical time line that could be now alter . That was probably a terrible explanation from what I half remember from a documentary
Basically the answer is “space magic”. I mean at the end he goes to a 5th dimension, it’s all creative license at that point yes

When Cooper goes into the tesseract, he’s in a three dimensional representation of time. He can interact with the past, allowing him to give his past self the coordinates to the NASA base. It’s just like he tells TARS in the tesseract, he sent himself into space. It’s like a loop. He always goes into space because he always receives the coordinates from his future self.

Using a super massive black hole as a means to communicate seems about the most unlikliest thing ever.

That’s not the question you need to be asking.
The question is if future us were the ones that built the wormhole and tesseract … so that Cooper could give Murph the secret to saving the human race…how did future us ever make it past that point to begin with and continue on to become super advanced interdemensional beings that needed to help save the human race?
I loved the movie but it should’ve been aliens.

Because the beings could move through time.

Not when you factor in that gravity is the only thing that can go forwards and backwards in time. So theoretically if you want to communicate through time then gravity would be the only way.
And the coordinates paradox reminds me of Terminator whenever skynet was created by a piece of the original terminator sent back to kill John Connor. I think that it means the outcome is an inevitability.

It’s playing on the theory that time is a flat circle. There isn’t a linear creation of time but rather an unveiling of what exists across time and space all at once.
There will never be a perfect logic to it without the existence of a supernatural being or simulation that “snaps” it all into place.
Dark is a show that dives into a simple idea regarding the concept of time.

Has every other movie you’ve watched only been of the non-fiction genre?

No. It’s playing on the time-space theory but with gravity you can actually access left of the Y axis (past).

That’s above my monkey brain pay grade.
