    Abstract : In a celebrated series of experimental observations, starling flocks have been shown to be characterized by scale-free, long-ranged spatial correlations in their velocity fluctuations. While this is expected for velocity orientation correlations on the basis of simple symmetry-breaking arguments, the same scaling-free behaviour for speed (i.e. READ MORE
