Move your mouse in fast, tight, continuous circles near the center of the screen.
The original "Google Gravity" experiment was created in 2009 by code artist Ricardo Cabello, widely known online as Mr. Doob . He used early HTML5 and JavaScript physics engines to make web elements interactive.
If you specifically want to see the entire screen spin without the physics collapse, you can use these official Google Easter eggs:
"Gravity waves" in meteorology are atmospheric ripples that can interact with storms. These are not to be confused with astrophysical gravitational waves.
: A JavaScript library that simulates real-world physics, allowing elements to have weight, friction, and collision properties. HTML5 and CSS3
const dt = 1/60; function step() for (body of bodies) const r = body.pos.subtract(center); const radial = r.normalize().scale(-k_r * (r.length() - r0)); const tangential = new Vector(-r.y, r.x).normalize().scale(k_t / Math.max(r.length(), 1)); body.force = radial.add(tangential).subtract(body.velocity.scale(damping)); integrate(body, dt);
You’re likely thinking of the and Google Tornado Easter eggs—interactive tricks where Google’s homepage breaks apart in response to physics or a storm effect.
The internet loves a good Easter egg, and Google has spent decades hiding them in plain sight. From the iconic "Do a Barrel Roll" to the classic "Zerg Rush," these playful features transform a sterile search engine into an interactive playground.
Unlike a video or a simple GIF, the Tornado experiment is fully interactive:

The appeal of the Google Gravity Tornado lies in the subversion of the mundane. The Google homepage is arguably the most stable, clean, and predictable space on the internet. It is the "front door" to the web. By turning that stability into chaos, the Easter egg provides a momentary, guilt-free destruction of order.
To understand what happens when these terms are brought together, you have to look at the two historic pillars of interactive web design that form this phrase.
To "make text" or interact with this effect, follow these steps:
