Google Gravity Lava Mr Doob [better]

You can spawn balls by clicking and then shake the browser window to see them bounce and collide. It uses a custom-built 2D physics engine to simulate mass and momentum.

Decades after their initial release, terms like "Google Gravity" and "Mr Doob" still enjoy massive search volumes. They represent a nostalgic era of the internet—a time when "Easter eggs" and digital toys were built purely for the joy of creation.

: Surprisingly, the search bar remains functional; entering a query and hitting enter will cause new search result blocks to fall from the top of the screen into the pile. Variants & "Lava" Edition

When users navigate to the Mr.doob project page or search for "Google Gravity" and click "I'm Feeling Lucky," the familiar Google homepage appears to collapse. Google Gravity Lava Mr Doob

While the standard Google Gravity remains a landmark in browser-based creativity, the lava version adds a sensory layer of heat, fluidity, and chaos — turning a search page into a molten playground.

The original Google Gravity experiment launched as a celebration of browser capabilities. When a user visited the page, the familiar Google interface remained stable for a split second before crashing to the bottom of the screen.

Mr. Doob’s work inspired a generation of web designers to look at the internet as a canvas rather than just a bulletin board. It paved the way for Google’s own official "Easter Eggs," such as: You can spawn balls by clicking and then

The fluid simulation uses a simplified version of these mathematical equations to calculate how forces propagate through liquid, creating the realistic swirl of the "lava."

It ruined the most famous "ordered" site on the web.

Once the page collapses, the user becomes the master of the chaos. You can click and drag any element—whether it is the "G" logo, the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button, or the search box—and throw it across the screen. The physics engine calculates momentum, collision, and friction. Elements bounce off the walls of the browser, spin through the air, and slide across the bottom of the page as if they were real objects. They represent a nostalgic era of the internet—a

to treat every UI element as a "box" with weight and collision properties. Users can click and "throw" the search bar or the Google logo, watching them bounce off the edges of the screen or collide with other elements in a realistic fashion. Lava and Visual Variations
