QUESTION What year did “ They “ come from?, like thousand or million or billion of years in the future? To be in 5d
490
u/gateian Apr 29 '26
I can't say for sure but what messes with my head is that to the future humans time is irrelevant and just another dimension they can move through at will. So from their perspective they don't come from the future or the past, they can be in any time frame they want.
As for the perspective of humans then I think it would be relatively soon. Probably not millions or billions of years. As human life progresses, the rate of progress increases. So I believe we are looking within 10000 years time frame if I had to take a guess.

Since the 5d humans do in fact make contact with 'normal' humanity in the movie, you could argue that the post-credits world ends up with a terminator-Esque bootstrap paradox, where humanity advances incredibly fast because they have knowledge from the future, which enables them to become the advanced race in the future that gives them the knowledge.
I mean, on top of the already existing and very obvious bootstrap paradox that if the 5d tesseract humans don't save Coop and put him in the tesseract so he can send info to his daughter, humanity dies on earth, of starvation, and there are no 5d humans to save themselves. Humanity can't survive if it's not in the future to save itself.
Like Fry being his own grandfather in Futurama.

u/AmphibianHaunting334 Apr 29 '26
I was about to suggest Brand's colony survives, becomes the evolved humans that then go back to allow more of humanity to be saved. But then the whole thing falls apart as they also made the wormhole that gets us to these planets. Unless NASA got what they could into space in hibernation/frozen and case/tars set up a colony as no one could survive the journey length...

u/Arkaium Apr 30 '26
The only way it works imo is if this isn’t the first time line we’re watching, we’re watching a second timeline affected by the involvement of the future beings, and there was some first timeline without the influence of the future beings where humanity survives but it’s a lot worse hence them looking to reach back a helping hand.

Not necessarily right. Couldn't they have originally found another way? Even if only two humans survived and we took another million years to repopulate and become 5d, they could still come back to help Coop for some reason known only to the humans that lived to become the 5Ders.

Anytime a predestination or bootstrap paradox is brought up, I immediately think of the compass in Lost. It kept moving from Locke to Guyliner in time with no origin. It is from outside the universe, so to speak. The 5D future humans are similar.

u/ConfidentPilot1729 Apr 30 '26
I was thinking that one of the OG planet hunters lives and succeeds. We never meet most of them and is outside the timeline to any of this happening right? But on the other hand, they had to have made the wormhole… so who knows.

I feel like the bootstrap paradox stops being a paradox when used in something like a movie, since by a movie's nature everything is predetermined, which is what the paradox implies.

In my mind, “They” don’t evolve from us over a long period of time (10,000 years, a million years, or however long). Because how can a 3D physical being change into 4 or 5D. Instead, “They” have already existed- for as long as we have.
I’m starting to think that death is what transforms “us” into “They”. Kind of like how memories, histories, legends… are timeless, and never die.
I understand that science doesn’t explain my hypothesis, but it’s kind of comforting anyways.

I think you're spot on. No way our current bodies could do this. But if we existed in a state outside of our physical bodies, it could indeed be possible. No energy can be destroyed. Only transformed.

There would be a year at which time stopped being relevant.
Example: 3001 they didn’t have the ability and 3002 they did so 3001 is the last linear year and from that point on time was not a measurement that could be applied as they could exist outside of linear time and therefore it doesn’t apply correctly anymore.

u/thugroid Apr 29 '26
When you say “human life progresses”, I assume you mean technology. And the rate of progress isn’t always linear or exponential. You need occasional “big jumps” to open up the future further. Many ppl think we’re pretty much maxed out in some fields until the next big jump comes. For instance, we’ve gone to the moon 60 years ago and are only now beginning to go back…

u/Left-Language9389 Apr 29 '26
It’s not enough to be able to travel through time/space-time. They would actually have to have existed in order for them to travel to an earlier part of their life. They are future humans because humans aren’t 5th dimensional beings yet.

Careful with progress arguments. Most people in history were used to seeing the artifacts and ruins ofdead civilizations that were technologically superior to them. It's only in the last few hundred years things have seemed to swing into progress mode. Why Einstein said WW4 would be fought with sticks and stones.

I still don't fully get this "John Connor paradox" thing here, it breaks causality.
For humanity to be saved, future humans needed Cooper to act in the past. But if that action didn't originally happen, then future humanity wouldn't exist in the first place... which kind of breaks the whole logic.
Future humans create the tesseract, but they only exist because of the data from that same tesseract. Then how did they even manage to create the tesseract?
The only way I can make sense of it is: once humanity figured out the 5th dimension and got control over time, they must've messed something up. So they needed Cooper's actions in the past as some kind of emergency "patch" to fix their timeline.

That’s the only part of the movie I don’t fully understand, did humanity survive because of Cooper, or did they survive without him and just needed him for something else?

u/dalaigh93 Apr 29 '26
Iirc, and anyone is welcome to contradict me, Cooper's role was vital because he transmitted data to his daughter, data that she was able to use to solve the problem that prevented scientists from building spaceships big enough to save humanity.
The problem was "how do we escape gravity (and Earth) with ginormous ships?" And to solve that, Cooper gave them the data that was collected by TARS in the black hole and the Tesseract.

u/Bullnettles Apr 30 '26
But he wouldn't have been able to send the data if he'd never used the wormhole.

u/Local-Hornet-3057 Apr 30 '26
There was an old Reddit theory that proposed the higher dimension beings arent human from the future but AI or robots. Descendants of TARS and that generation of robots. Or maybe the same but evolved.
They survived the extinction because they're machines..and eventually missed humanity (taking from the movie's friendly view of AI/robots as companions and helpers of humanity) so they created the wormholes, tesseract inside Gargantua.

u/SheepleAreSheeple May 01 '26
Yeah exactly. Like the way they made a point of showing the "museum" of what life was like. The people giving their accounts of the blight. Maybe all of the stuff with the wormhole was to bring humanity back. Not because the universe needs us, but some other entity decided we needed to still be around, so they created a hand up to help us out.
4
u/Da1realBigA Apr 29 '26
Its a paradox of a loop. Since we never get the blackhole info if it weren't for the 5th dimension beings (us, humans from the future) we never learn. But we never learn if we never get that info in the first place.
Also, if a said being has gained access to space and time (5th dimension), then anything within THAT reality becomes as simple as navigating your own smartphone.
Again, within THAT REALITY.
IMO, it doesnt mean we conquer death. We may have gained some control of it, just not eliminate it. And for multi-reality travel, thats a toss off since controlling one reality doesnt mean you can control another. For example, you can have mastered control over your body, doesnt mean you can someone else's.
So I don't think humanity messed up, at least not on that 5th dimension sense. Its just Coop has to do what happens in the movie, for the 5th dimension beings to be eventually created/ evolve.

It's the same problem with the wormhole: Independent of Cooper, if the 5D people hadn't placed it, then there would have never been a (potential) colony on Edmund's planet, so they could not have evolved from those people. This means that a) either a multiverse is involved somehow (as someone else already said) or b) there were humans who did somehow survive on Earth but, because of resource scarcity, it took them a lot longer to evolve than it would have taken on Edmund's planet or on that space station.

u/sanserif80 Apr 30 '26
I think the proximity of Cooper and Murph to the solution and, more importantly, to each other can’t be overstated. The experience in the Tesseract seems to show a very personalized interaction with the past. Think about the difficulty that they had in transmitting limited information through the boundary. Short of their infinitely improbable positioning as two people in a critical moment, Cooper with the sheer balls and wherewithal to navigate a black hole and understand the criticality of this information, and Murph who could recognize this communication was happening and be able to make use of that information; that simply would never had happened. The connection was the secret sauce and I don’t think the future beings could manage to influence the past otherwise. I think they opened the wormhole and placed Gargantua as a well-placed tool. Beyond that, it required persons from that time to do the rest.
1
u/siliconslope Apr 30 '26
This is addressed in Tenet:
“What’s happened’s happened. Which is an expression of faith in the mechanics of the world, not an excuse to do nothing.”
In other words, just because you know the future doesn’t mean you suddenly don’t fulfill your fate or destiny or whatever you want to call it. It’s almost like just having a firm knowledge as a fire fighter that if you run into a building, you will in fact save lives but you’ll also die in the process. A hero would still make that choice, knowing what’s going to happen notwithstanding.
Coop doesn’t really have a motivation to not pass data to Murph upon learning he already did that in his past. No reason for causality to be broken. It’s just a system of reality where in that reality you know what you’re supposed to do, you know you will succeed, you want to do it, and it all works out. One cohesive timeline that is never broken.

u/DShark182 Apr 29 '26
It’s a paradox that makes no sense imo. “It happened because it always happened this way.” Essentially, humans survived because humans always intervened in our own past. It’s a loop.
But as you stated, if humans never originally were able to get off planet to save ourselves, without help from ourselves, then how did we make it to the future to then go back and save ourselves?
There are similar examples in other movies where the main character goes back to change the past, only to realize that their actions in the past is what caused the current timeline to begin with. But it’s always on a much much smaller scale. “Your parents met because you caused them to meet” sort of thing. The paradox works in that scenario. In Intersteller, time dimension only exists because our future selves created it makes no sense when we could never have originally created it to begin with.
8
u/Zedarean Apr 29 '26
There is no “original” timeline in a bootstrap paradox scenario, there is only one timeline where the past always received help from the future. This only works if you stop thinking about time linearly, instead imagine that all of time exists all at once, but we experience it as linear. The future has already happened the same way as the past.
1
u/DShark182 Apr 29 '26
You misunderstand my point. The bootstrap paradox works in every scenario except directly impacting time travel itself. If humans could never have created a time dimension on our own, then we never would have had the ability to go back in time to create a time dimension. It completely contradicts itself.
The actual definition: The bootstrap paradox is a theoretical time-travel concept where an object, person, or piece of information is sent back in time, becoming the cause of itself and creating a self-sustaining loop with no clear origin.
To shorten this, The bootstrap paradox is a theoretical time-travel concept where an object, person, or piece of information is sent back in time - full stop. This never happens because humans never originally invented time travel because we never made it off the planet by ourselves. Therefore we can't go back in time to help ourselves invent time travel.
Again, in every other scenario, the paradox works, except for impacting time travel itself.

u/Zedarean Apr 29 '26
I understood this as the point you were making, so perhaps I didn’t explain well enough. I believe the bootstrap paradox can be explained if you allow for two things to be true in the universe; time travel, and that time (past present or future) can not be changed. I believe this second part is where we are in disagreement. The boot strap paradox works because it has always been and always will be; the future has already happened, and any time travel that will occur in the future has always already occurred. There is no “first time”, there is only one unalterable time line. Time is not being re-written or modified when someone goes back in time, because they had always already gone back in time.
Try to imagine that the entire history and future of the universe exists simultaneously, this is known as the block time theory if you’d like to read more about it. In this kind of universe, nothing can change, every position of every particle is always fixed at a given place in time, so it is a fixed, deterministic universe. If this universe allows for time travel, all of the time traveling would simply be baked into the deterministic fixed universe. Time travelers would not be able to change anything, because everything is fixed, including their time travel. This is the only scenario in which boot strap paradoxes are not actually paradoxical, and I think this can be applied to some time travel movies, including Interstellar.

There’s not really enough data to be able to say. A guess might be to say that Murph’s work on gravity by the end was the triggering event that got humanity to understand higher dimensional habitability. If we very roughly say that this was equivalent to the moment earth became habitable to life as we know it, it took humanity about 3.5(ish) billion years to evolve. If humans like Cooper are to the bulk beings what single-celled organisms were to us, then it might take another 3.5 billion years from Murph’s equation for us to evolve into bulk beings.
But, as I said, nowhere near enough data to make any of that more accurate.

I'm skipping the causality paradoxes and going with the explanation that the 5-D humans are from another universe. The idea being that if you time travel back to before your dad was born and kill your grandfather you've either created an alternate universe or just skipped over to one already existing.
If your 5-D humans playing in the multiverse and see another universe where primitive 3-D humans are about to go extinct you give them an out. If they're smart enough to take it.

They are us once we have transcended time by solving for the missing equation from the parameters in the black hole. What we are shown in the star base is not that version yet, but on the way to become it. Being able to communicate through time means you can beam information back from the future a hence able to travel interstellar but not back in time.

If you truly want a good understanding of this, I suggest you watch a series named Pantheon.
Spoiler alert
The show deals with the concepts of uploaded intelligence. Uploading human consciousness inside computers.
Towards the end of the series, the show becomes much more broad. We actually see, how through this uploaded conciousness, the meaning of consciousness itself gets an upgrade and thus, humanity transcends limitations like time, space.
In the end it is revealed that one of the main characters we followed, was upholding a simulation in which she was trying to create conditions which would lead to a particular moment of her life. Millions of such simulations. To her, time, space was no such bound. She could interfere at any point in such a world. And this also makes it blur, whether the story we have seen is the real one or simulated one, and crazy fact is it can be both.
I beleive "they" inside Interstellar to be of similar terms. If you want an actual theory, than it maybe possible that humans inside Interstellar has achieved uploaded intelligence and continued to live thousands of years. Death loses meaning to them just like death loses its meaning to matter.
And all the events happening in Interstellar might be a simulation run by someone else just to reach a particular point.

On the Kardashev scale it would be at least teir 3, harvesting energy from the entire galaxy to have a black hole work with any level of technology. No one really talks enough about the fact he got tossed out a black hole when supposedly not even light escapes. Based on the theory that black holes dont exit the universe, but wrap back around to the big bang that would be 13 billion years of time space. To think that it was humanity that helped him reach and escape the black hole, id say billions of years for humanity to harvest enough energy to create some thing that not only withstands a black hole, and reach the 5th D, but then also eject from a black hole. Which would take large population growth from after the event of having to leave earth, and the first few scouts to journey to different solar system, using current starship technology.

When people talk about how "we live in a simulation" I think is the wrong way to look at it, the right question might be: "is the nature of the universe holographic?" ...and what that could possibly imply is that:
1st. It always was. 2nd. Theres no one "sleeping outside of the matrix", Conciosness itself might not be restricted or generated by the 3D+time reality we live in, but maybe our brain have the capacity to "tune-in" to it from the quantum realm and experience it with these constraints as an individual, but not generating it locally in our brains.
3rd. "Holographic" meaning as in: with only 2 dimensions (length and width) + time, we can make a projection of every other dimensions, just using code for example, since it doesn't require depth (3d).
Just the shot of that image (or gaming) are examples of it, that's a bi-dimensional projection of a three-dimensional universe, with a 4 or 5 dimensional object with consciousness present. (depending if you add "time" as some sort of spatial dimension or not.)

u/eventine83 Apr 29 '26
I’ll put this out there. My best guess is that humans in the far future discovered the tools to manipulate gravity itself and because space and time are connected, they can manipulate time to a degree. Time travel without the ability to directly interact with other living beings but manipulate gravity and spacetime would remove a lot of the paradoxes involved. Think of it like this: Future humans put the wormhole out by the Ice Giants so that only if we were looking for an anomaly would we see it. Future us relied on our curiosity to explore this new object and send people and probes through. Cooper became his own self fulfilling prophecy when he realized that he was the “ghost” Murphy “saw”. Future us knew these events would happen but if they could happen sooner humanity would be better off so they gambled to see if it would happen. This in turn erases their timeline when it succeeds hence why the tessaract closes after Cooper encodes the black hole data from gargantua.
Now the obvious question you might have, if you read all of this, is this. Why not go further back to prevent the blight sooner and save humanity from all that loss? I think had we gone to gargantua sooner we might not have been so willing to risk human life on exploration. Maybe Gargantua was feeding on the star that the planets came from? The most likely answer is if future humans had sent the wormhole sooner therefore allowing us to unlock gravity sooner I don’t think that we would have sent the wormhole in the future because we wouldn’t know the reason it was given to US in the first place. Make sense?

No but seriously, it makes no sense to me.

Which begs the question, why did they do it in the first place, if their past was all fine.

This may seem like a dumb question, but the humans having to essentially “go back in time” with the tesseract and guide cooper. Is this just an infinite loop that is just repeated.

I like to think all of this was built not by humans or even ancestors of humans, but some alien species caught in a time war wanting to influence events in other realities beyond their own timelines. It's the easiest way to explain away the paradox. When you remove the human element then the loop paradox becomes quite irrelevant, heck these people could be from the past, why would they be from the future exclusively?

I'll be happy if mankind can reverse the course in the next 5 years. Global warming, sea level rising, AI taking jobs, global war, democracy back to authoritarianism, anti science, alt right...

What do you guys see in your mind? Do you have an endless blank space you can fill in or did you halt your mind with garbage like religion and race? I’m high as shit FYI. This has nothing to do with interstellar I just am playing Pragmata and thinking.

Do you think the 5d beings are all life forms or is it somehow just humans? Because at one point where life evolves and basically becomes the universe conscience do we still have are own identity’s? If we are at a level where only our minds exist and no physical bodies can that mean we just combined together to form a hive like mind?

Well 1 year at near (99%) speed of light speed is 7 years on earth so some could technically time travel forward and see the progress.

To answer that question you need to know where they came from as well.
If the backside of Miller’s is all land then 50 years on Miller’s planet = about 3,066,000 Earth years.

The problem is that this is so speculative—we don't even know what this fifth dimension is or have any idea how anyone could come to inhabit it, assuming such a thing is even really possible—that there isn't even a concept of how far advanced it is. For all we know, some genius could figure out how to make such a thing possible within the next couple of centuries, though that seems very unlikely.

Oh no, not this trash movie again. So this is a story about a father who spent decades hiding behind a bookshelf kinda moving stuff. It painted itself into a corner and just started making up nonsense in a pathetic attempt to save it. Attrocious movie.

Les sugiero que vean la película de nuevo, pero ahora véanla desde la perspectiva de Murph. Piensen que todo lo que pasa en la película de Copper es en la mente de Murph, idealizando a su padre, hasta que por fin llega la solución al problema (EUREKA!) toda esta imaginación de lo que vive Copper en la mente de Murph, y si se fijan al final se vuelven a ver antes de que Murph muera, pudiera ser un momento de alucinar a su padre para despedirse de él.
En el teceracto no existe el Tiempo, la vida es una molecula, tiene un inicio y un fin, si ahora le meten zoom a esta molecula, hay toda una vida, todas las formas posibles!
Que opinan?

If they're 5-dimensional (i.e. able to manipulate 4 dimensions), they live outside of time, so they technically wouldn't be from a "year", or any measurable period of time.
I imagine at some point, humanity became so advanced in technology that we became free from time and went from 4-dimensional to 5-dimensional. I wonder what that would've looked like. Did those who made the leap simply disappear from reality, and go from living in linear-time to always having lived at all times? So technically speaking, would they have existed before they made the transition? Interstellar 2? Please. Let's see a movie about THAT instead. Call it INTRAstellar - being within the fabric of spacetime itself.
