Google Gravity

What Google Gravity actually is

Ricardo Cabello's experiment gives every element of a 2009 Google homepage physical mass, so the logo, buttons and search box tumble to the bottom of the window on arrival. You can still type a query, then drag the wreckage around and throw it at the walls.

Why it is worth your time

Search genuinely still works from inside the pile, and the results page falls over as soon as it appears.

Common questions

Is Google Gravity free?

Yes. Google Gravity is free and does not ask you to register or hand over an email address before you can use it.

How long does Google Gravity take?

Good within five seconds of loading. We file it under "Instant" — the Google homepage collapses into a heap on load.

Does Google Gravity work on a phone?

Google Gravity really wants a mouse and a wide window. It will load on a phone, but the experience is built for desktop.

What kind of site is Google Gravity?

We list it under Beautifully Useless — no purpose whatsoever, and that is the point. Search genuinely still works from inside the pile, and the results page falls over as soon as it appears.
