Peter Solomon holds a Ph.D. in physics from Columbia University. He is a scientist, author and entrepreneur who is devoted to passing on his love for the many wonderful science stories to the younger generation through the media they like best. He believes that integrating science concepts into exciting stories is the best way for children to learn. The birth of his twelfth grandchild inspired his Stardust Mystery book. This book led the National Science Foundation project to create video games and the Stardust Mystery YouTube channel for science videos to accompany that book. In his newest novel, "100 Years to Extinction," he explores how humanity may be running out of time to confront the existential dangers created by our own technologies.
