Description

Several works in holography has lent support on the conjecture that there could be a universal speed limit for the sound set by the conformal value. Further support comes from kinetic theory and QCD. Yet, there are many instances violating this bound. I furthermore present several holographic models that break the speed barrier and discuss their common denominator.
