Interstellar, HUGE plot hole question.. ::SPOILERS::

[PanthersUnited]

Ok, so first off this move was amazing, Hans Zimmer's score, oh me oh my.. But I can't get over one thing.. So at the end when Cooper is in the worm hole and he sees his daughter when she was younger and he's pleading with her to make Cooper stay and not go on the mission and trying to give her all kinds of signs with books and stuff..

There is one extremely simple solution that frankly it's so obvious I can't believe Nolan missed it. How did Cooper and Murph find that NASA facility to begin with?! It was because of the quardnants that Cooper gave as code in the dust..

All Cooper had to do at the end when he was in the Wormhole is not give the quardnants to find NASA and Michael Caine to begin with, there.. Problem solved..

That would be a paradox. How could he not give the coordinates yet still be in the wormhole

That's right, but then it doesn't make sense him giving the coordinates then in the same wormhole telling young murph to make him stay..

 

Ahhh damn you Nolan! That dude is mind fugger extraordinaire

When he was saying stay he didn't know at that time what exactly was going on.  That "they" had chosen Murph.

You should stick to stuff like Transformers and the Avengers.

rewatch the scene. i'm pretty sure his first message (the one that says STAY) is because he was freaking out, thinking he was stuck in the middle of nowhere. he then realizes that "we brought ourselves here" (or something along those lines) and gives murph all the info (first coordinates, then the data from the black hole).

This is one of those movies I will not watch often, I'll see if I can remember this thread when I watch it again. Hope that helps.

It actually brings up a time travel paradox called a causal loop.  Remember Cooper is in a dimension not bound by space or time, so information he transmits to a planar dimension can be allocated to any point of its 3 dimensional axes in addition to its singular time axis.  

 

When he was saying Stay, this was probably done when he was pissed for leaving, before he knew of the role Murphy had to play, the true power of the tesseract and without considering what TARs said about its purpose.  Also, wasn't it 'them' that gave away the coordinates through a gravitational anomaly?  It's been a while.

I thought the stay was to remain at the house until she was older and able to do something with the information? 

I love the movie. Great ambition and a note to the future. Don't die here.

Tars is coming to kick some ass

 Alright, alright, alright.

I thought it was "Quadrants" spelled wrong.
