Inventor Elon Musk told how he would use a time machine.
– If I had a time machine? Hmm. I think it is important to read a lot, not only nonfiction books, but also fiction, science fiction. This increases our potential. If you want to develop innovations, then it is important to understand multiple scientific areas, transfer something, and then something third will turn out that did not exist before. And then people in these disciplines may not understand, because they are narrow specialists. It is important to combine knowledge from different areas, Musk said.
The billionaire also recalled the contribution of Soviet scientists to space exploration and that in the near future Mars may become a planet for people.
At the same time, the inventor expressed confidence that all transport in the future will obviously be electric.
“Ironically, missiles will be the only exception,” Musk said via video link at the Russian New Knowledge marathon.
