description: Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was beloved for his humor and humility as much as for his brilliant mind, and was a strong proponent of peace. Born in Germany, he emigrated to the United States in 1933 and never returned to Europe. Invention proceeded at an astounding rate during Einstein's lifetime -- Zworykin developed the predecessor of today's television, Daimler invented the internal combustion engine, and Henry Ford designed the assembly line for his Model T car -- to name only a few. Inventions such as these and two world wars changed lives and lifestyles forever.
