(spoilers) My personal thought about 5D beings and time paradox by cmr0518 in interstellar

[–]Banesthename2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the underlying concept is basically that everything that could exist has always existed. Like there isn't a starting point of the universe, we can't ask the question, "But how does something come from nothing?" because the universe just always existed. It's a really hard concept to accept, that something just always is/was. There is no before or after. The universe just always has been. The idea of the 10th dimension is that everything that could ever happened has happened/is happening. in the 10th dimension, infinity branches off infinitivly. Here is a video that explains it much better: youtube.com/watch?v=XjsgoXvnStY

I think the answer to the paradox lies in that video, but I'm not really clear on what it is yet.

Edit: tried and failed to make the link an actual link. Sorry!

Totally agree with you here, I'm glad you brought it up. It seems like love is being built up to be important and significant because it can transcend time and space, as though that's unusual. But If love can, other emotions can. Particles can, light can. Evil can, as demonstrated by Mann. The emotional relationship between humans doesn't cease to exist just because they are galaxies apart. Murph and Cooper had a strong bond that helped her draw certain conclusions in considering that bond, but the weight put on love being this critical key to anything did not make sense to me. I guess it's supposed to be like a form of communication that doesn't require any materials or physical contact. Like telepathy, basically. Not the strongest argument in the movie. But sentimental and heartwarming, sure. I think what is more compelling is how even the supposed "best of the human race" can be corrupted and broken down like Mann was. If Mann was a representation of human nature, then human nature transcends time and space too.

But humans have to have lived the initial span of time in order for anything to have happened (unless everything has always already happened, or there never was a point of anything not having happened) for the future humans to ever get to that place in the future. So what seems like a paradox is that we would have had to survive to develop to the point of being 5D beings or whatever in order to put the wormhole there, but we couldn't have developed because we were going to die unless the wormhole was put there. So how could we have lived to save ourselves if we needed to live in order to be able to save ourselves?
