Reply to comment by frodosbitch in Interstellar movie —- Has anyone calculated how long did Cooper feel he lived in the space ? If there was a clock with calendar attached to his jacket , how much time would that watch show by the time he would have been retrieved ? by tejaskhetani
no one knows what happens inside a black hole. With that, it seems the writers chose to have Cooper basically end up OUTSIDE of time. Because the beings exist outside of time, the beings could reinsert him into time when/wherever.

Precisely.
It is a bit deus ex machina. « A bit » because deus ex machina is an intervention suppose to solve the main plot whilst cooper’s life or death is secondary once he gave the data away.
But yeah, in short, beings able to place a wormhole leading to a black hole are powerful enough to place and replace a human being, that’s a fair assumption

Why wouldn’t they insert him shortly after he left then? To help move the data along, save thousands more lives, and see his family?? They wouldn’t even need to do the watch-data transfer. He could have brought it physically back.

Because the others enjoy a good plot.
Seriously, it may have been the closest time and place where he could've been rescued before his air ran out. It wasn't until later that a space station was near the wormhole.

Ok I was under the impression we are the beings

Yeah, that was my takeaway as well

Same, I feel like the movie deviated from the original script and the beings who were assisting were in fact future humans and not other than human persons.

It is an open suestion:
- if it’s future us, the story becomes a grandfather loophole
- if not, it’s plain linear
But with what the movie gives us, it’s impossible to know

It's a place of immense gravity.
At the center of a black hole is some kind of singularity, but a person can't go through a Black Hole. You'd just be crushed into the space of an atom.
If you stepped onto a planet with 10000x Earth's gravity all of your bones would break and you'd fall down to the floor and be crushed. A black hole is like that except multiplied by infinity.

In the off chance you have a device that allowed you to maintain your body mass and create a bubble of gravity around yourself....you'd still be too big to fit through the singularity.

They could have sent him back to before he abandoned and completely ignored the existence of his son. My take on this film was that some kids get stuck with crap dads.
In my head his son is Judd Nelson's character in the breakfast club, a few years later.
