In this work we briefly review the Kovtun‐Son‐Starinet (KSS) computation of the ratio η/s for quantum field theories with gravitational dual and the related conjecture that it is bound from below by 1/4π. We discuss the validity of the bound and the nature of its possible violations, its relevance for RHIC, its connection with phase transitions and other related issues.
