will happen many of us to remain with the nose in the air to observe the spectacular flocks of birds circling in the summer skies of our cities. Training flight taking shape shifting but always recognizable as a single design. The secret of a creation so complex is in synchronization. Each bird lays its flight training in relation to the position of his companions around him, forming a geometry similar to that of a network in motion.
individual spontaneous behavior but ordered in connection with the neighbor, which generates the shape and the power of a single set.
synchronization spontaneous nature is the mother of new biological and physical energy, as powerful as the flow of photons a laser beam, as vital as the rhythm of the heart cells, because the magic of thousands of fireflies flash in unison on mhe-kong.
Steven Strogatz, professor of mathematics and science of complexity, is the author of a fascinating text on the "Briefcase" (Rizzoli 2003).
For those interested in playing with the visual simulation of a flock changing the technical parameters of each pilot as the viewing angle and distance, the University of Catania placed online a flight simulator .
