Concept
BGP Route Flap Damping is a mechanism used in network routing to minimize the propagation of unstable routes by suppressing routes that change state too frequently. While it can enhance network stability by reducing unnecessary updates, it can also lead to delayed convergence, potentially impacting the reachability of legitimate network paths.

Concept
Gravitational wave events are ripples in spacetime caused by massive astronomical phenomena like merging black holes or neutron stars, providing a new way to observe the universe. These events confirm aspects of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity and enable the study of cosmic events that are otherwise invisible to traditional telescopes.
Concept
An Einstein Ring is a phenomenon in gravitational lensing where light from a distant object, such as a galaxy or star, is bent around a massive object, like a black hole, between the light source and the observer, forming a ring-like structure. This effect is a direct consequence of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, demonstrating how massive objects can warp spacetime and alter the path of light.
