Some of them have spoilers in them, so you might want to see the movie first.  Just remember that the science is pretty real given that this is a movie and by necessity it has to go beyond what we already know.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Here is a question that perhaps someone out there can answer.  What role did Topher Grace play in the movie?  We think we have figured it out, but we cannot find anything on the web that definitely confirms what we think.  We can find the name of the character he plays, but that does not help us be certain of who that character was.  If you have the answer, leave a link to the answer rather than an explanation.  we don&#8217;t want any spoilers for the people who have not seen the movie yet.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<link rel='stylesheet' id='font-awesome-css'  href='http:\/\/netdna.bootstrapcdn.com\/font-awesome\/4.0.3\/css\/font-awesome.min.css?ver=4.0.3' type='text\/css' media='all' \/>\n<p><i class=\"fa fa-flag fa-5x\" style=\"color:red;\"><\/i> Lot&#8217;s of spoilers in the following link<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/screenrant.com\/interstellar-ending-spoilers-time-travel\/\" title=\"Article with spoilers\" target=\"_blank\">\u2018Interstellar\u2019 Ending &#038; Space Travel Explained<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You might be interested in the real <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesseract\" title=\"Wikipedia definition of tesseract\" target=\"_blank\">definition of tesseract<\/a> after you read the above article.<\/p>\n<p>This article does not answer the question about Topher Grace, but it does explain some things we weren&#8217;t sure about.
