As long as you think it's possible that you can be you're own grandfather, or that a giant crab monster can create itself by going back in time, or that you can communicate with your daughter in the past allowing you to communicate with your daughter in the past in the first (or last) place, then I have nothing left

So, you're saying you could be your own grandfather?

OK. To be fair (to me) I did take a physics course on special relativity in university and I have a pretty solid grasp of the concept of the contraction of space (or expansion, depending on your reference frame) when approaching relativistic speeds, and that practically has nothing to do with quantum physics. It's at

The problem is that you (and many other people) keep talking about the situation in terms of hypothetical mathematics so as to confuse yourselves and everyone else. This is why people didn't walk out of the movie. You have pegged me accurately as not-a-physicist, but as I said, the issue is not dependant on conceptual

Do you know who else said "sorry"? HITLER!!!!!! (Probably at some point in his life.)

I haven't watched Lost, but it's funny you should mention it because J.J. Abrams is the only one I can think of who's done "time travel" in what is at least a logically possible way, with Star Trek (2009). I'm not trying to single out Interstellar for this problem, however it is extremely cliche now. I just wish it

I've brought this up in many AV Club conversations, but the issue with Interstellar's ending isn't that it's science fiction, but that it's logic fiction. Vague spoilers following: The information transfer through time is the equivalent of the Roswell That Ends well plot where Fry's his own grandfather. It exists

Not sure if this is sarcasm…

Maybe Plant just wasn't too confident in a jet made Branson called The Starship.

Well, at least nothing else bad has happen to Branson lately. But serious; I've got much respect for RP, between this and the excellent "lullaby… And the Ceaseless Roar", (and why didn't we get a review of that AV Club, seriously!)

That would have still made for a much more scientifically accurate black hole scene. "I'm losing control of the stick!" Where the fuck's he trying to maneuver it, he's in a fucking singularity!

I'm assuming that's a joke but I honestly don't remember anything this bad in Spaceballs. The third act of Interstellar is pretty much the conclusion to Roswell That Ends Well. Information being sent back in time, therefore existing for the sake of itself is exactly as logical as Fry being his own grandfather.

I have a theory: Neil deGrasse Tyson didn't watch the last act of the movie. It's pretty much all of the main characters yelling: "Fuck science and logic!"

"…in an effort to ensure the survival of their ancestors." You missed the part where this doesn't make any sense!!!!!!!! This is something I posted on facebook on the matter:
Interstellar tries to take advantage of one's suspension of disbelief by throwing in the old Fry's-his-own-grandfather paradox. It's pretty much

I wasn't trying to put words in your mouth, but as a Canadian I just get pissed off when "the west" is blamed for invading Iraq.

I think this gets to the heart of it. When one administration fucks up the entire hemisphere is blamed for it, and that scenario is used as a blank cheque for Putin's aggression.

I think there are a lot of contrarians as well who sympathize with him since his excuses for invading countries and other shady dealings usually reads like: "Well the west kind of did something similar at one point, so why can't I?"

But Bieber's from Ontario; I expect such things from that province.

'This is opposed to America’s catchiest song, which is obviously “Call Me Maybe,” ' It should be mentioned that Carly Rae Jepsen is Canadian. *Averts eyes in shame*

What if he did? They both probably produce the same sound. The typewriters are a diversion.
