"When we watch movies and TV shows about the future, we see how vehicles move in space, how people teleport, and so on. We take it for granted that it happens in the cinema, but we don't think about it when we leave the cinema. But in fact, the authors of books and films are leading us in the right direction," he said in an exclusive interview.

According to him, the staff of the scientific center should figure out how we can control gravity for our own purposes. And gravity leads to space-time travel, which will allow, for example, to instantly travel to the stars, to Mars.

"Flying to Mars and landing on rockets, as I told my son, is not the best idea. It's too far away. Putting people in a small capsule in the middle of space, which will fly for several months, is not the best idea. But with space time travel, we can become a space race. There is almost no doubt that there are other civilizations and life in the rest of the universe," Elon Musk's father said in an interview.

The businessman initially considered Dubai as a site for the construction of the center, but later he chose Serbia.
