Peter Solomon is a physicist and an entrepreneur who is devoted to passing on his love for the many wonderful science stories to the younger generation. The birth of his twelfth grandchild was the inspiration for his first book and the STARDUST MYSTERY project that has created companion video games, science videos, and Expert Avatars that will answer questions about their lives and work. The theme of the Stardust Mystery story is that we are made of STARDUST that was once in the body of Albert Einstein and the last T-Rex. That is true. We each have more than 300 trillion carbon atoms that once belonged to and were exhaled by Einstein and more than 5,000 trillion that were once in each T-Rex that roamed the Earth. Those atoms were created in the end-of-life explosions of stars.
His new book, The Race to the Big Bang, set in the coronavirus pandemic, continues that story. The same child characters make the best of their new life constraints and enter a new contest, The Race to the Big Bang. They, and hopefully the reader, will learn lots of new science. Peter lives in Connecticut with his wife, Sally Moshein Solomon. Sally and Peter have had their vaccine shots and are now visiting with their grandchildren again.
