Reply to comment by RealCoolDad 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

4D beings would be outside of time and would not be perceived by us unless they choose to be. I've heard it described such that a 4D being is able to choose when in time it exists and would only be visible when we pass through that moment. It's a hard concept for us to understand much like timelessness or eternity. We live in an existence that is linear and finite. In my personal opinion I feel there is a lot to the universe that we simply cannot perceive due to our limitations. I also cannot prove the existence of 4D beings.

It’s an interesting idea but it’s really just jammed into interstellar to fix the ending and make it happy.

I feel like it was sadder for him to come back when he did.

The Bulk Beings are 5-D, not just 4-D. They are so superior to time that they couldn’t even find a single point in time.

What are the bulk beings?

They’re the “future humans” of the movie. The super-advanced higher dimensional entities we see creating the wormhole and saving Cooper.

They got that name because of how they’re referred to when going through the wormhole.
