13 Years Unaccounted For in This Movie-SPOILER

If you've seen this movie, the math doesn't add up. 2 year hibernation to Saturn, 23 years on Miller's Planet, then the 51 years to get away from the pull of the black hole. The filmmakers have not accounted for this plot hole. But then again, how can people in this very near future account for such a thing in exact time? Perhaps another 13 years passed with the future brings making sure Cooper would be in that exact place floating near Saturn just to make sure he'd see Murph again, even though she's at a smaller station and not THE station he wakes up at.

Wasn't it like, 61 or something. Plus he was falling into the black hole for a bit too, time passed outside the Endurances manoeuvre which was said to be either 51 or 61 years, I don't know I haven't read the script.
Anyway they know how long it's gonna take because they know what kind of singularity Gargantua is and their trajectory, it helps that they have two super computers, both of which are required to be educated on the subjects of space travel, on board to tell them these things.

I think when the where on Mann's planet it sped up too. Time was relatively different the whole time they were past the wormhole too.
