The time frame entered was always (as best I can recall) the one of reference, according to the scenes, except for the ultra-dimensional episode of pushing out books in code pattern. When McConahey-hey was returned to solar orbit, he was as he was, but he popped out into a future where his daughter was old.
You have to be a sci-fi nutcase to really like the genre. All of it by nature is beyond common scope and always suffers harsh criticism because of that. All that aside, it did have some poor qualities. The sound level was almost a plot character in its own right.

There is no aging differential. It's a paradox. You can just as easily consider the spaceship as the reference system at rest and the Earth as the system in motion at near the speed of light. Then it's the astronaut who ages more rapidly than the people on Earth. It's all relative. Hel-loo!
Far be it for me to convince you, but relativity time differentials have been proven by experiment, with similar clocks being compared, one having just traveled at high speed. And they were compared after travel, so this was the chosen reference frame of comparison.
The result was that the high-speed traveled clock indicated an earlier time than the kept at home, thus relatively less aging when seen upon return.
Unfortunately the experiment with the clocks doesn't mean people age at different rates. The choice of which system is the one at rest is strictly arbitrary. It's a paradox. Look it up. The whole thing is Science Fiction. Hel-loo! And the thing about worm holes is they don't exist. They are only theoretical and even then they cannot provide a shortcut to anywhere. Ironically it was the Interstellar science advisor who pointed out the "shortcomings" of worm holes in his book on same.

But there's a lot of brainpower being expended out there on black hole research.
All of the black hole research or 95% of it was actually done in the 60s. And black holes should never be confused with wormholes.
