What to expect
A strongly lensed gravitational wave can reach us more than once, with repeated signals separated in time. This talk preview explains how searches distinguish genuine lensing from unrelated look-alike events, why Bayesian model selection matters, and what a future detection could add to gravitational-wave astrophysics and cosmology.
