Spoiler!

It is clearly mentioned that Cooper's crash that he dreams about to start the movie was caused by a gravitational anomaly. Who caused it?

Same thing with the Indian drone and the combines. I think people are so caught up in how the final section of the movie played out in relation to time... what about the first section of the film? The way the film plays out, these gravitational anomalies are all intentional.

The drones and the combines were caused by him manipulating gravity in the house. As far as his crash, I have read theories that it was intentional by the advanced beings so that he would no longer be a pilot. That way he ends up being a farmer instead of being sent on the initial exploration missions.

Spoiler!

It doesn't matter if his plane was intentionally crashed or if it was accidentally sabotaged by future humans, all that matters is that it crashed and changed his future (presumably he would not have settled on a farm and ended up having a daughter that would go on to save humanity). I think the GPS malfunctions have more to do with the tesseract and the future humans creating a time loop that takes place at that house and at that time using lots and lots of gravity.

Coop is only given access to Murph's bedroom on purpose. Future humans constructed a 5 dimensional object for him to access an important moment in his personal history. It doesn't really matter why they chose it because this is a predestination paradox/circular causation. It had to be chosen... no matter what. Probably some shit about love and desperation or more likely because it is the event that sent him to NORAD where he met up with secret NASA.

My favorite thing about the film is the paradox at the center of the film. In a way these future humans have become gods.
