r/interstellar

When cooper was past the event horizon, but was still in his ship, the ship was starting to get bombarded with what appeared to be sand or some sort of particle.

It got me thinking…what if under that intense gravity, light waves - the photons, that act as a wave, are getting compressed into light/photon particles, which is what was bouncing off of Cooper’s ship, and ultimately what destroyed it, forcing him to eject.

When the gravity subsides, the particles “decompress” into a wave.

Is that what they were suggesting in that scene?

Just finished the movie for the 4th or 5th time. Man. It still hits hard.

People say words to the effect of “Why does Cooper leave Murph and his new extended family?”

1. Murph got over her resentment for his having to abandon her. She literally tells him to go and that she already has her own family with her.

2. She’s about to die or is at least pretty close to dying anyway.

3. Cooper does have an extended family, but they’re strangers to him as of right now and he’s a stranger to them.

4. Cooper is taking the chance to do what he couldn’t do in the past, honour the wishes of his daughter.

5. As much as he hasn’t seen his daughter in person, knowing he helped her save humanity is a strong consolation.

6. Murph reminds Cooper that he’s still not finished the mission. Amelia Brand is indeed still out there and likely on the only potentially habitable planet. It is important that Cooper keeps going for the sake of humanity and Murph knows that.

7. Cooper had his character shift and was willing to stay to be with his daughter when all is said and done. He only fully walked out because she asked him to.

\>!Spoiler Ahead!<

\>!At the end of Interstellar, it turns out that Wolf Edmunds’ planet was the one able to support life all along even though Edmunds himself is long dead. We see Dr Brand setting up camp on the planet and Cooper flying to Edmunds’ planet to support her. It is implied that this is the planet where humanity will move to and start afresh. It’s worth remembering that the mission Edmunds went on was called the Lazarus mission!<

Theory:
According to legend, King Edmund or Edmund the Martyr was killed quite gruesomely by Vikings in the east of England and his head cut off and thrown into the woods. After much searching, his followers hear a sound going “here here here” and come to find Edmund’s head being guarded by a wolf and it was the wolf that guided them to him. When reuinited with the body, the head reattached and his wounds had all healed. His shrine became a common pilgrimage for people to them travel to

Back to the movie, could the symbology here be that Wolf was “guarding Edmund’s planet” so that when humanity arrived, it could flourish once more and effectively be reborn? Once established, humanity would keep making the “pilgrimage” to it in order to stay alive

How much time would have past before Coop reached Brand? Both were about 30-35 years old during the mission.

Let's just blatantly misinterpret the movie for the sake of a cheap laugh, and apparently 56,718 people agreed.
