CRAZY CONSPIRACY THEORY WITH MAD MAX, INTERSTELLAR, AND TOMORROWLAND

This seems daft doesn’t it? Just follow me down this rabbit hole for a minute.

Interstellar was a phenomenal movie imo. I loved everything about it; however, the one piece of the plot generally unanswered that left me contemplating was how in the world did the 5-Dimensional library in the middle of the black hole Gargantua get there? Cooper alluded to future humans creating it, but how could there be if humans were going to be stuck on a deteriorating world without it?

I recently realized the answer… It wasn’t future humans who created it, it was present human beings in an alternate dimension that formed it.

At this point you’re thinking: “This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read.”

Good. That’s exactly what you should be thinking.

There’s no punch line here.

Carrying on…

Before we enter into the events from each movie put into chronological order, there’s another assumption we must understand. Murphy Cooper is an animatronic version of Casey Newton. Murph was made to have the characteristics of Casey so that she could help keep the human race on planet Earth alive.

I understand that this is a huge assumption, but let’s analyze a few similarities:

Murphy and Casey were both intellectual pre-teens with abnormally high intelligence especially within engineering. Both were “chosen” to save humans by a power other than themselves. Both are 10 year old girls in the United States. And finally both have fathers who work(ed) for NASA. Also, perhaps it is a coincidence that “Casey Newton” and “Murph Cooper” both have 11 letters in their name.

Bare with me.

Now, the events from Interstellar, Tomorrowland, and Mad Max in Chronological Order:

Gusave Eiffel, Jules Verne, Nikola Tesla, and Thomas Edison created Tomorrowland. The brightest minds in the world created a society absent from political intervention, restriction, and corruption in an alternate dimension discovered by the four men listed. This is the utopian futuristic society that we see Casey Newton in at the beginning of Tomorrowland. In 1964 at the World’s Fair in New York a few of the leaders of Tomorrowland decided to show off their society to specific, high-class people by giving them a button which enacted a scan in the well-known Disney ride It’s a Small World After All to transport them.

It’s important to note here that they did not travel into the future, they simply traveled to another dimension (created by the four dudes up there ^).

Athena slips Frank a button, ends up finding and experiencing Tomorrowland, and is eventually banished back to Earth. He creates his fortress/house over the years and this is the point where the movie truly picks up in present day. Casey Newton is arrested and finds the button in her belongings. The clock in Frank’s house puts the timeline about 60 days and several years prior to the beginning of Interstellar with the world being majorly affected by natural disasters and major deterioration of agriculture. Now Tomorrowland is desolate and has fallen from its elegance displayed in 1964. Casey saves Tomorrowland by getting rid of governor Nix and begins the rebuilding process by recruiting “dreamers” through teleporting audio-animatronic robots into different parts of Earth to seek them out.

Since Casey saved Tomorrowland and restored it to the previous utopian society, it allowed the brilliant minds to form Gargantua and the development of a 5-Dimensional tesseract library on the interior of this supermassive black hole so that Cooper could interact with Murphy and lead her to NASA and eventually how to understand the equation for gravity which led to the building of the NASA Space Habitats that saved much of humanity. The people of Tomorrowland didn’t want to bring them there for fear of corruption, but instead aided humans in producing an alternate route for them to live outside of planet Earth. The people of Tomorrowland were acting as benevolent parents guiding Earth rather than saviors of the world.

We have to understand here that Tomorrowland is not the future. Tomorrowland is the present in an alternate dimension. Just as the portion of the theme park of Disney World is not in a different time frame, it’s simply an alternate way to experience a present reality. This is how Cooper interacted with Murphy. He interacted with her in the present, not traveling through time.

Time passes massively while Cooper is in space because of severe gravitational time dilation. Over this time, the people of Earth led by Murphy (Robotic Casey) create NASA space habitats after figuring out the gravity equation. When the patrol finds Cooper, brings him in, and introduces him to his daughter Murphy as an old woman, the reality of Mad Max’s post-apocalyptic wasteland has existed for years since the good people who were selected to join the space habitats left. The people who did not make the cut (felons, the poor, the generally unfortunate) are left stranded on a dying Earth seeing as there wasn’t enough time to make space habitats for billions of people. These people struggle to survive on dying planet Earth.

The inhabitants of Earth are now without government structure, without access to agriculture, water, or gasoline. Limited resources are of infinite value as people struggle to live. Nuclear war breaks out when the space habitats leave to try and take control of the Earth and different factions emerge. At the end of Interstellar we see Cooper leaving to find Amelia on Edmunds’ Planet. Simultaneously Tomorrowland is maintaining its benevolent eye on the people of Earth floating through space and people remaining on the desolate Earth find a faint glimpse of hope as a congenial Furiosa begins her reign at the Citadel after killing the head tyrannical cult leader Immortan Joe.

And you can’t deny that the facemask on Max doesn’t look like the Tomorrowland button.

Time Travel: Theories, Paradoxes & Possibilities

Time travel may be theoretically possible, but it is beyond our current technological capabilities.

Time travel — moving between different points in time — has been a popular topic for science fiction for decades. Franchises ranging from "Doctor Who" to "Star Trek" to "Back to the Future" have seen humans get in a vehicle of some sort and arrive in the past or future, ready to take on new adventures.

The reality, however, is more muddled. Not all scientists believe that time travel is possible. Some even say that an attempt would be fatal to any human who chooses to undertake it.

Understanding time

What is time? While most people think of time as a constant, physicist Albert Einstein showed that time is an illusion; it is relative — it can vary for different observers depending on your speed through space. To Einstein, time is the "fourth dimension." Space is described as a three-dimensional arena, which provides a traveler with coordinates — such as length, width and height —showing location. Time provides another coordinate — direction — although conventionally, it only moves forward. (Conversely, a new theory asserts that time is "real.")

instein's theory of special relativity says that time slows down or speeds up depending on how fast you move relative to something else. Approaching the speed of light, a person inside a spaceship would age much slower than his twin at home. Also, under Einstein's theory of general relativity, gravity can bend time.

Picture a four-dimensional fabric called space-time. When anything that has mass sits on that piece of fabric, it causes a dimple or a bending of space-time. The bending of space-time causes objects to move on a curved path and that curvature of space is what we know as gravity.

Both the general and special relativity theories have been proven with GPS satellite technology that has very accurate timepieces on board. The effects of gravity, as well as the satellites' increased speed above the Earth relative to observers on the ground, makethe unadjusted clocks gain 38 microseconds a day. (Engineers make calibrations to account for the difference.)

In a sense, this effect, called time dilation, means astronauts are time travelers, as they return to Earth very, very slightly younger than their identical twins that remain on the planet.

Through the wormhole

General relativity also provides scenarios that could allow travelers to go back in time, according to NASA. The equations, however, might be difficult to physically achieve.

One possibility could be to go faster than light, which travels at 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second) in a vacuum. Einstein's equations, though, show that an object at the speed of light would have both infinite mass and a length of 0. This appears to be physically impossible, although some scientists have extended his equations and said it might be done.

A linked possibility, NASA stated, would be to create "wormholes" between points in space-time. While Einstein's equations provide for them, they would collapse very quickly and would only be suitable for very small particles. Also, scientists haven't actually observed these wormholes yet. Also, the technology needed to create a wormhole is far beyond anything we have today.

Alternate time travel theories

While Einstein's theories appear to make time travel difficult, some groups have proposed alternate solutions to jump back and forth in time.

Infinite cylinder

Astronomer Frank Tipler proposed a mechanism (sometimes known as aTipler Cylinder) where one would take matter that is 10 times the sun's mass, then roll it into very long but very dense cylinder.

After spinning this up a few billion revolutions per minute, a spaceship nearby — following a very precise spiral around this cylinder — could get itself on a "closed, time-like curve", according to the Anderson Institute. There are limitations with this method, however, including the fact that the cylinder needs to be infinitely long for this to work.

Another possibility would be to move a ship rapidly around a black hole, or to artificially create that condition with a huge, rotating structure.

"Around and around they'd go, experiencing just half the time of everyone far away from the black hole. The ship and its crew would be traveling through time," physicist Stephen Hawking wrote in the Daily Mail in 2010.

"Imagine they circled the black hole for five of their years. Ten years would pass elsewhere. When they got home, everyone on Earth would have aged five years more than they had."

However, he added, the crew would need to travel around the speed of light for this to work. Physicist Amos Iron at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel pointed out another limitation if one used a machine: it might fall apart before being able to rotate that quickly.

Cosmic strings

Another theory for potential time travelers involves something called cosmic strings — narrow tubes of energy stretched across the entire length of the ever-expanding universe. These thin regions, left over from the early cosmos, are predicted to contain huge amounts of mass and therefore could warp the space-time around them.

Cosmic strings are either infinite or they’re in loops, with no ends, scientists say. The approach of two such strings parallel to each other would bend space-time so vigorously and in such a particular configuration that might make time travel possible, in theory.

Time machines

It is generally understood that traveling forward or back in time would require a device — a time machine — to take you there. Time machine research often involves bending space-time so far that time lines turn back on themselves to form a loop, technically known as a "closed time-like curve."

To accomplish this, time machines often are thought to need an exotic form of matter with so-called "negative energy density." Such exotic matter has bizarre properties, including moving in the opposite direction of normal matter when pushed. Such matter could theoretically exist, but if it did, it might be present only in quantities too small for the construction of a time machine.

However, time-travel research suggests time machines are possible without exotic matter. The work begins with a doughnut-shaped hole enveloped within a sphere of normal matter. Inside this doughnut-shaped vacuum, space-time could get bent upon itself using focused gravitational fields to form a closed time-like curve. To go back in time, a traveler would race around inside the doughnut, going further back into the past with each lap. This theory has a number of obstacles, however. The gravitational fields required to make such a closed time-like curve would have to be very strong, and manipulating them would have to be very precise. [Related: Warp Speed, Scotty? Star Trek's FTL Drive May Actually Work]

Grandfather paradox

Besides the physics problems, time travel may also come with some unique situations. A classic example is the grandfather paradox, in which a time traveler goes back and kills his parents or his grandfather — the major plot line in the "Terminator" movies — or otherwise interferes in their relationship — think "Back to the Future" — so that he is never born or his life is forever altered.

If that were to happen, some physicists say, you would be not be born in one parallel universe but still born in another. Others say that the photons that make up light prefer self-consistency in timelines, which would interfere with your evil, suicidal plan.

Some scientists disagree with the options mentioned above and say time travel is impossible no matter what your method. The faster-than-light one in particular drew derision from American Museum of Natural History astrophysicist Charles Lu.

That "simply, mathematically, doesn't work," he said in a past interview with sister site LiveScience.

Also, humans may not be able to withstand time travel at all. Traveling nearly the speed of light would only take a centrifuge, but that would be lethal, said Jeff Tollaksen, a professor of physics at Chapman University, in 2012.

Using gravity would also be deadly. To experience time dilation, one could stand on a neutron star, but the forces a person would experience would rip you apart first.

So is time travel possible?

While time travel does not appear possible — at least, possible in the sense that the humans would survive it — with the physics that we use today, the field is constantly changing. Advances in quantum theories could perhaps provide some understanding of how to overcome time travel paradoxes.

One possibility, although it would not necessarily lead to time travel, is solving the mystery of how certain particles can communicate instantaneously with each other faster than the speed of light.

In the meantime, however, interested time travelers can at least experience it vicariously through movies, television and books.
