We propose a model for concentrated emulsions based on the speculation that a macroscopic shear strain does not produce an affine deformation in the randomly close-packed droplet structure. The model yields an anomalous contribution to the complex dynamic shear modulus that varies as the square root of frequency. We test this prediction using a novel light scattering technique to measure the dynamic shear modulus, and directly observe the predicted behavior over six decades of frequency and a wide range of volume fractions.
