- New measurement of Hubble Parameter from GW
I just saw a new paper on measuring the Hubble Parameter : https://arxiv.org/pdf/1908.06060.pdf
It seems they are agreeing with Planck which I understand would speak largely against the idea of new physics from the Hubble tension.
However it says +14 and -7 next to the estimate. I presume these are the error bars. Are they saying it could be as high as 82 or as low as 61? Is that right? in which case I guess this paper isn't very conclusive . Over the years as they get more measurement the error bars will come down and we'll see where the chips land. So we shouldn't get very excited by this result. Is that right?
