Strong lensing cosmography using binary-black-hole mergers: Prospects for the near future

The episode discusses a paper proposing strong lensing cosmography using binary black hole mergers to measure cosmological parameters like the Hubble constant and matter density. Hosts detail how the method offers an independent check on the CDM model and how methodological improvements, such as incorporating detector limitations via selection functions, make future constraints more precise.
