i met a question i read a artical today .about "will there ever be another Einsrein" this artical was like that; it is very difficult to emerge another one einstein. thay said there are many factors working against einstein emerging . physics is different field and education is different too. and through this artical i have known that einstein is also a musician . (i think many people know that ) there is the question : One crucial aspect of Einstein’s training that is overlooked is the years of philosophy he read as a teenager i cant understand this sentence . what is the "that" mean in this sentence , and two "is " . which is main clause ? this sentence is very coplicated to me .

I have encountered/have came across/[met] a question

i read an articale today, about/entitled "will there ever be another Einstein ?" This articale was like that; it is would be very difficult for to emerge another one Einstein to emerge. They It [the article] said there are many factors working against an Einstein emerging . Physics is a different field, and education is different too. and Through this articale I discovered/found out have known that Einstein is was also a musician . (I think many people know that )
There is the question : One crucial aspect of Einstein’s training that is overlooked is the years of philosophy he read as a teenager

I can't understand this sentence . What does is the "that" mean in this sentence , and two "is " . which is the main clause ? This sentence is very complicated to for me .

Actually, the sentence might be better if it read:

One crucial aspect of Einstein’s training (that is) often overlooked are the years of philosophy he read as a teenager. The passive verb 'overlooked' refers to both the aspect and the years. This is what makes it so confusing.

the aspect [of his training] is overlooked; the years of philosophy he read are overlooked

I have submitted a Discussion item asking for help with this !

I always forget I can not use proper spacing in comments. Now it looks like a wall of text :(

"One crucial aspect of Einstein’s training that is overlooked, is the years of philosophy he read as a teenager". Let's examine the logic. "One crucial aspect of Einstein's training that is overlooked" So something is overlooked, and that something that is overlooked , is considered a crucial aspect of Einstein's training. (We do not know what that something is yet but we will soon) Let's continue ",is the years of philosophy he read as a teenager". But what is exactly the aspect that is overlooked? Now we get the explanation of what is overlooked. Well the aspect that is overlooked "is the years of philosophy he read as a teenager." So people overlook the fact, (do not take into account the fact) that Einstein read a lot of philosophy as a teenager. That fact (that he read a lot of philosophy) is considered a very crucial aspect of Einstein's training. Did that help you, or made it even more confusing for you :) ?
