Google Gravity Tornado !exclusive! May 2026

"Google Gravity" is a famous interactive browser experiment by Mr.doob where the UI elements of the Google homepage crash to the bottom of the screen due to simulated gravity [36].

The Google Gravity Tornado relies on a combination of technologies to create the simulated tornado effect. Here's a breakdown of the technical aspects: google gravity tornado

• Onload animation: elements gently detach and spiral toward vortex; provide “skip animation” control.
• Controls panel: strength slider, rotation toggle, chaos mode (random impulses), reset button.
• Affordances: cursor changes when dragging; subtle shadows and motion blur for depth.
• Safety: avoid moving critical browser UI; restrict effect to page content region.

The Google Gravity Tornado was created by the team at Google, specifically by Google's Creative Lab, as an Easter egg – a hidden feature or joke – within Google's search engine. The exact date of its creation is unclear, but it is believed to have been introduced around 2009. Since then, it has been widely shared and has become a popular internet meme.
