abstract
The gapless fermionic excitations in superfluid 3He-A have the "relativistic" spectrum close to the gap nodes. This allowed us to model the modern cosmological scenaria of baryogenesis and magnetogenesis. The same massless fermions induce another low-energy property of the quantum vacuum -- the gravitation. The effective metric of the space, in which the free quasiparticles move along geodesics, is not generally flat. Different order parameter textures correspond to curved effective space and produce many different exotic metrics, which are theoretically discussed in quantum gravity and cosmology. This includes the condensed matter analog of the black hole and event horizon, which can be realized in the moving soliton. This will allow us to simulate and thus experimentally investigate such quantum phenomena as the Hawking radiation from the horizon, the Bekenstein entropy of the black hole, and the structure of the quantum vacuum behind the horizon. One can also simulate the conical singularities produced by cosmic strings and monopoles; inflation; temperature dependence of the cosmological and Newton constants, etc.

Laboratory rivers extremize friction and are cosmological analogues
River cross-sectional profiles satisfy the Friedmann equation for an Anti-de Sitter universe; the associated action extremizes friction and dissipation, and the extremum is a maximum by second variation analysis.
