A View From the Top
Thinking of causation as a "two-way street"—along which the passage of information can be inverted—could have implications for the origin of life.
Classic Article: Black Holes, Paradox Regained
In 2004, Stephen Hawking famously conceded that black holes do not devour all information when they swallow matter—seemingly resolving the "black hole information paradox" that had perplexed physicists for decades. But some argue that the paradox remains open, and we must abandon our simple picture of spacetime to unravel it.
Quantum Biology: Making Waves in the Natural World
Could quantum effects explain the mechanisms behind smell, photosynthesis and bird navigation?
The Accidental Universe
Have we been fooled into seeing one form of reality, with particular fundamental forces and laws, based on the peculiar way that we have chosen to measure time?
The Cosmic Hologram
Is our universe an illusion projected backward in time from the future?

Yes, my comment also mentioned that he cited Volovik and others. But this is not what the fqxi article sounds.
By the way, Universe in a Helium Droplet is a book, not a paper.
Also, I don't think he has ever mentioned quarks in his papers.

Tung, Olaf Dreyer does infact list several authors, including Volovik, see his recent paper
titled:How Things Fall.
What is new from Dreyers perspective, is that there is nothing smaller than Quarks?
There are some really interesting probabilities to consider, and Volvoliks' "Universe in a
helium croplet" is a facinating paper in itself.
Tung, Olaf Dreyer has a recent paper Why Things fall
where he certainly cites Volovik's "Universe in a Helium...

This article mentioned Dreyer's work and some possible consequences of it. I think this article does not do justice by omitting to mention that the theory so called "internal relativity" is not an invention of him. As mentioned by Dreyer in his papers, this view is already proposed by others like Grigori Volovik (see eg. his book "The Universe in a Helium Droplet"). More accurately, his work is just based on their work. Even its possible consequence on cosmological constant problem is dealt with...
