With Google Gravity you can see a pretty cool trick as the entire google homepage elements brake apart and fall down due to virtual gravitational forces. It is like Google Sphere except the elements are not circling around the logo. Although this Chrome Experiment works best in Google Chrome browser it may also work in Firefox, Opera and IE browsers as well, depending on the version you use.

Tricks and Tips

  1. To find this page manually type "Google Gravity" on Google and click on the Im Feeling Lucky button.
  2. Moving your mouse in the browser window the entire page will begin to fall down.
  3. All the elements within the page can be thrown in any direction on a drag and drop basis.
  4. You can still perforom a regular search and see the results falling down your browser window.
  5. Clicking the logo will reload the page and set every element back to start position.

How To Download?

Many people search to download Google Gravity and until recently (Aug 27, 2011) there was no option to open that page on a local computer because the javascript behind the trick did not work when opened outside a full domain.

If you like this prank search page here's a step by step guide on how to download it on a local computer. Doing so, you may access it even without internet connection.

  1. Create a folder on your hard drive where you'd like to save the searchpage.
  2. Go to the this site and when the page is fully loaded select "Menu --> Save Page As..." in Chrome", "File --> Save Page As..." in Firefox or "Opera --> Page --> Save As..." in Opera.
  3. Navigate to the folder you just created and save the page as "google-gravity.html".

That's it! Now when you double click the html file you just saved it will open the searchpage locally, just like you'd open it online. Everything will work except the Google Search function if left without internet connection.

 That is pretty cool! And the page is searchable just like google...

What is Google Gravity?

It is a searchpage created by Ricardo Cabello around Jun 2009. The page uses client side javascript to interact with the user and move the elements around the window.
To see how it works type "google gravity" in Google search box and click on the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button or visit the this page.

Be aware though that this game is quite "resource hungry" and it will eat up CPU power on most single core computers. It was tested on 2.8 GHz Intel Pentium running on 100%! This video on Youtube demonstrates how it should run smoothly and what it looks like when the page is full of broken apart search results.
