“How can a five-dimensional construct inside a rotating supermassive black hole allow Cooper to influence gravity across time without violating causality, and if humanity created the tesseract in the future to save themselves in the past, then where did the original chain of information and survival actually begin?”

Long story short: there is no “beginning” and the idea of time being one direction is not compatible with five dimensions where moving freely through time is possible. This would be like asking someone where the earth’s circumference begins. In five physical dimensions, human beings aren’t bound to a beginning or end of time and can freely move along it, the way you can freely move around in a boundless container. In order to sustain the causal loop, they place the tesseract because they know it’s necessary for Cooper to lead himself back to it. It’s like an engine that continually feeds their existence.
I don’t know, but I love thinking about it watching in an IMAX theater. That movie got me back into going to the theaters. Watching it at home doesn’t even get close to comparing.
I was so young, and it felt like the movie was going forever.. I fell asleep at from memory, the launch of the shuttle.. and I haven’t given it a watch since.
Saw the first 10 seconds of this and wow that was amazing looking, I need to give it another go.
I can’t explain how much space movies both scare and fascinate me. This scene was thrilling in IMAX.
> then where did the original chain of information and survival actually begin?
Cooper wasn’t on that mission. Virtually all of humanity died. It was just plan B and created generations of untold toil and caretakers. Eventually humanity evolved to five dimensional beings and it turns out there was social utility in caring about people who died.
Short answer: Yes
Long answer: Who knows. They’re so far in the future that they are not even humans anymore so their perception of reality would be the equivalent of us trying to explain relativity to an ameba
Btw guys this scene here took years of research and VFX development, with some frames taking up to 100 hours to render and the entire simulation generating nearly 800 terabytes of data.
What is causality?
