String theory and quark-gluon plasma
Authors: Makoto Natsuume
(Submitted on 24 Jan 2007 (v1), last revised 28 Feb 2007 (this version, v2))
Abstract: We review the AdS/CFT description of gauge theory plasmas for non-experts. We discuss the low shear viscosity, jet quenching, and J/psi-suppression, which are three major signatures for the quark-gluon plasma observed at RHIC experiments.

In that presentation there is an explanation with the example of two wave traveling in opposite directions to explain of spin 2, gravity.

The following, by Gerard \'t Hooft uses the moon/earth and tide to visualize spin 2.

========
In order for the two examples to be equivalent then the two waves must stay 180 degrees apart.
My question for the experts: Is that correct?

I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
I'm trying to understand the relationship between the Higgs mechanism and the concept of inertia. The Higgs field gives fundamental particles their rest mass, but it doesn't seem to directly explain why a massive object resists acceleration (inertia). My question is: How does the Standard Model account for inertia? Is it simply taken as a given property of mass, or is there a deeper connection to the vacuum structure? Furthermore, how does the Higgs mechanism relate to broader concepts like...
