BOOTSTRAP PARADOX!!! Understand the Ending of 'Interstellar'.

Paradox as per Wikipedia

"A statement or proposition which, despite sound (or apparently sound) reasoning from acceptable premises, leads to a conclusion that seems logically unacceptable or self-contradictory."

You might have seen 'Interstellar' movie which was released in 2014. For many the movie was too hard to understand, while watching the movie the question may arise that if the future humans and cooper saves humanity then how could they exists in the future if cooper hasn't yet saved humanity. This can be fairly defined by the Bootstrap Paradox.

This paradox signifies that an information and an object can exist without being ever created.The object or piece of information is sent back in time where it is retrieved and to become the very object or piece of information that was brought back in the beginning.

Lets think about the scenario when a person travels back in time to give an iPhone to Steve Jobbs then he re engineers it and release it in the market few years after and the  same comes to you then you go back to Steve jobs taking the same phone all over again. It is a loop without origin because we cannot find from where did the iPhone came into existence. The Steve Jobbs did not invented it, you did not invented it then the question is 'who did?'

How could you define the origin of water in the below illustration?
Here some more examples:

• A professor travels forward in time, and reads in a physics journal about a new equation that was recently derived. He travels back to his own time, and relates it to one of his students who writes it up, and the article is published in the same journal which the professor reads in the future.

• An old woman gives a young man a watch; the young man then goes back in time and hands the watch to a young woman; she later grows into the older woman who hands the watch to him. The watch therefore has no point of origin.

• A man travels back in time and falls in love with and marries a woman, who he later learns was his own mother, who then gives birth to him. He is therefore his own father, creating a closed loop in his ancestry and giving him no origin for his paternal genetic material.

It has no plausible explaination or sollution at all at all.
