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?

String theory and quark-gluon plasma are two theories in physics that help us understand the behavior of particles and matter at a very small scale. In this paper, the author explains how these theories can be used to describe a type of matter called gauge theory plasmas. These plasmas have been observed in experiments at the RHIC, and the author discusses three important properties of them: low shear viscosity, jet quenching, and J/psi-suppression. This information is important for scientists to better understand the behavior of matter at a microscopic level.
