Plot Synopsis

In each half-hour episode of THE EINSTEIN CHALLENGE, host Buzzy Cohen welcomes two world-class experts in science, history and engineering, who compete to see who can best explain complicated concepts to kids. These experts break down the world's biggest questions in a way anyone can understand -- such as how does an airplane fly or how bad was the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius.
