Launch Experiment
Slow? Not Working? Try it in Google Chrome.
From the Author:
"Everything that goes up must come down. But there comes a time when not everything that's down can come up."
George Burns couldn't probably imagine that his quote would eventually also be applied Google's main page.
Play with the elements and try searching whenever you get tired of it.

Reply to this comment"Google gravity" is fun,but shame it doesn't do searches when you click e.g: Cheese-it does come down,but when you click it,it doesn't work. Keep up the great work, Hi-ReS!...
Reply to this commentthis is sooo AWESOME!!! :) brill..super brill...i love that the search works..dint expect it to..
Reply to this commentThat's . . . just . . . awesome!!
Reply to this commentLong Live : Hi-ReS!
i love this experiment
WOW !!!!!
Reply to this commentThis is an awesome experiment that isn't overly power-hungry like some others I've seen, yet still able to tickle and thrill nearly anyone who sees it. The use of the Google page makes it instantly recognizable and familiar.
One thing I'd like to see in an update is the concept of mass. For instance, the small radio button is able to push the giant Google logo out of the way without problem. It would be awesome if each object had a 'mass' attribute, which was consulted in the kinetics of hitting, smashing, pushing, etc. Remember that easy but essential equation: F = ma.
Reply to this commenti love it can i please use this on my site i have 100 ideas for it.. is there a code?
Reply to this commentCheck the "Making of" link at the bottom of the page out.

Reply to this commentWOW!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply to this commentAdded support for Opera 10.5
Reply to this comment:) before this update rotations didn't work well..tho Opera supports them
Reply to this commentAlso it works correctly in Opera 10.00
Reply to this commentChange someone's google homepage for this one without his knowledge, film his reaction and post it XD
Reply to this commentcan i actually do that!?
Reply to this commentSo this experiment led me down a very interesting path, to test it out i searched "home" and came across a video that didnt open my eyes to something new but opened the further with understanding. Not only is this a cool experiment but it led me to something that should be shared! everyone should check out ~ www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqxENMKaeCU ~

Reply to this commentThis prove that chrome is on of the best browser for graphics and scripts. But there is much more to work to be better then fire fox
Reply to this commentThe problem is that, while Google work on gimmicky features that allow complex scripts that will never be utilised for a website, such as this, Mozilla are developing useful features for Firefox.
Then again, why should any browser bother developing something new themselves when they can just steal ideas from Mozilla when a new Firefox is released?
Reply to this commentI took offense to this
'Then again, why should any browser bother developing something new themselves when they can just steal ideas from Mozilla when a new Firefox is released?'
You're acting like Mozilla invented web browsers...
Reply to this commentAlso, why should FireFox bother developing something new themselves, when they can just steal ideas from Opera each time it is released.
E.g.
1) Tabbed browsers,
2) Portal page
3) Mouse Gestures
... etc.
You should get of the FireFox high horse Allicks...
Reply to this commentI know this site is called CHROMEexperiments (i.e. webkitexperiments) but if you should add support for non-webkit versions of stuff (like CSS3 transforms) so they work cross browser. Just tried this out in Opera 10.5 and the rotation ain't working.
Reply to this commentDoes Opera support css rotations? If so, let me know what's the syntax and I'll be happy to implement.
By the time I did this, Opera didn't support that. So I only made it compatible with Webkit/Gecko
Reply to this commentits awesome. . . . . .
Reply to this commentthere's a funny bug:
If you run it on Linux (yeah, Chrome is actually avaible for Linux!) und then change the virtual Desktop (with Beryl or Compiz), all things rapidly fly to one site (see here:://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_LSO4t9Cmo)
Reply to this commentits not a bug i think.. its because ur linux desktop was rotating.. law of inertia..
Reply to this commentI just played around with this and i must say it is the best thing on the internet. set as homepage and i will never go back :P
Reply to this commentThis is almost as good as the clown one - it sings a diffrent song in the charts everytime you open up google for 10 seconds!
Heres the web:

Reply to this commenthow do u get javascript for this?
Reply to this commentInspirationally cool!
Great use of the Box2D-JS physics engine
Reply to this commentOs resultados caindo são engraçados.
Reply to this commentWith JavaScript? Seriously? Very cool!
Reply to this commentis it really with just Java Script?
Reply to this commentYes.
Reply to this commentOMG I BROKE GOOGLE :( XD
Reply to this commentu know that u can put stuff in the search bar click enter and the first 4 results will come up and fall!!! lol
Reply to this commentive set it as my homepage!!
Reply to this commentMe too!!! And i grab the stuff with my cursor and trow it around...
Reply to this commentAfter the new Safari update it's functioning really well without chrome!
Reply to this commentAbsolutely brilliant! Just goes to show, not even Google is beyond the laws of physics. =)
Reply to this commentMuito engraçado LOL xD
Reply to this commentIt works great in Safari! Awesome job!
Reply to this commentI love this experiment, it's really cute and I love the way that everything collapses on each other.
Reply to this commentthis was a great time ,sorry i was so dumb,
Reply to this commentThat was like well sick laa
Reply to this commentI was almost worried to click anything on the page the results returned for fear of everything falling!
Reply to this commentUh, for everyone saying that this "doesn't work well in IE, or Firefox", there is a reason why this is called CHROME experiments. It is for use with the Google Chrome Web Browser.
Reply to this commenti,ve never been here before,wish i had a helper
Reply to this commentTry searching for something and then click i'm feeling lucky! It wont work after that!
Reply to this commentWOW nice!.. and Works well in Opera!
Reply to this commentIt doesn't work well on Firefox.
Reply to this commentThis makes me sea-sick.
Reply to this commentGood job! man
Reply to this commentwow, it keeps going down in Intern Explorer, and in firefox, it can only fall; you can't interact...
Reply to this commentThats why its called "Chrome" experiments!
:P
Reply to this commentbig mistake i made ,where are you when i need you?
Reply to this commentYeah... It's a shame there aren't any standards for Internet technologies like HTML or JavaScript that would allow these applications to work in more than one browser.
Reply to this commentI really hope this was sarcasm... (www.w3.org, anyone?)
Reply to this commentyeah...its really nice...good work
Reply to this commentit is nice,wish i knew what i was doing ,can i go now?
Reply to this commentAwesome ..........

Reply to this commentLOL THE SEARCH STILL WORKS
Reply to this commentReally cool experiment it was....
Reply to this commentThis is really cool one. I like it !!
Reply to this commentIt like kicking somebody in the stomach .The first you use it seems a certain kind of pleasure , I wish I could have done it to other webpages.

The author is Newbility!
Reply to this commenttoo bad that Google copied the same effect from youtube channel of nintendo months ago .... it is pretty shameful to have done that ...
Reply to this comment1. Pretty sure that that youtube ad was in flash.
2. this isn't google's work, its someone elses hack of a google homepage with gravity in it, afaik.
Reply to this commentDo you know that YouTube is property of Google?
Reply to this commentDo your research young man.
Reply to this commenthow do you make this your homepage?
Reply to this commentYou just copy the URL in the app, then make it your homepage.
Reply to this commentawesome...
Reply to this commenti want it
Reply to this commenti searched in the search box and every page did this. lol
Reply to this commentCOOOOOOOOOL!
Reply to this commentMy mum asked what is happening :] lol love it.
Reply to this commentWhat a concept to project Newton's theory., next time use an apple tree
Reply to this commentvery awesome stuff, nice one
Reply to this commentwhaat?!!!
Reply to this commentThis is too awesome! I love it. this made my day:)
Reply to this commentAWESOME IDEA!! I can't wait to set my friends' home pages to this. they'll think they're computer is actually "broken"!
Reply to this commenthehe
Reply to this commentToo freaking cool!
Reply to this commentHi-res, you should try the accelerometer additions for Webkit. It should allow for interaction with iPhone, Android maybe even Nokia and Blackberry hardware.
If you could do that and make it touchscreen friendly, you will be remembered! :D
Reply to this commentreally clever,made me smile...and thats a task in itself.
Reply to this commentThis is Awesome!!
I set it as the home page in all of my friends browsers.
In IE8 it runs very slow and then just falls off completely.
lol
Great Stuff
Reply to this commentYou Guys at Go.o.o.o.ogle are amazing , there's a great site you have. No matter how great I still get lost. Do you own & Run "You Tube" ? I have Google Chrome & when I was checking it over "you tube" was right there,running it. You all so young & busy I bet writting back to me isn't something you normally think about,
Ihave a Question? If I download the Google will it inter fear with [ MSN, or YAHOO, bing or Explorer ?? ]
Thank-You , your Friend Penny Kingsley
Sorry ,if I sound stupid what I learned about computers my kids tought me, along with Tech support from 2 computers I bought for my kids
Reply to this commentyoutube is run by google, they bought youtube (the company, and the website) like last year or something.
Google chrome is a browser, msn/bing/yahoo, are all webpages, that will be rendered and displayed in google chrome, so yes, they should all work.
Reply to this commentDo not download google. Many people use it every day, if you download it they won't be able to access it anymore. Please, leave it uploaded.
Reply to this commentDon't worry. If you 'download google', it won't interfere with anything.
Reply to this commentYOU CAN STILL TYPE IN THE TEXT BOX AS IT FLYS AROUND!
That was truly mind blowing good stuff.
Reply to this commentOh yeah... didn't notice that.
Reply to this commentSorry, flies not flys.
Reply to this commentAt first, I thought it was kinda boring, until I realized I could use the logo like a baseball and the text area as a bat! WIN
Reply to this commentI did that, too! I took text area and hit the logo around with "bad google!" typed in and said aloud many times. It sounds kinda stupid , but it's truly hilarious. Did you know you could search with that thing? Having the text area as a see- saw i really fun, too. Nice work, Hi-Res! If you disable the links, you wont have to worry about leaving it so involuntarily. just an idea. good thinking , ev149.
Reply to this commentneat as.
Reply to this commentWOW it works so great in opera 10 b2. you should try it.
Reply to this commentthis would make an awesome april fools prank
Reply to this commentinteresting
Reply to this commentFascinating to watch but if you're into speed, or search a lot, this isn't for you. The hypnotizing way things bounce distracts from the main goal and makes it hard to click in anything. Well, until things settle down. But I'd love to have it as an option on my computer. Load it onto a guest profile and giggle while they google.
Reply to this commentI have a lot of processes running on my Duo core 1.7GHZ, 2GB Ram, XPSP2 machine right now. In mozilla.... Google falls down and breaks, and since i am utilizing max memory here i could see little stuck here and there at times....
But in IE 6, Google never falls down. it stays like a legend, besides a javascript error at the lest bottom of IE6.
Reply to this commentGoogle never breaks.
Reply to this commentMS are still sure, that the world spins around their technologies...
forget about IE at all)
Reply to this commentHow do i use it?!
Reply to this commentYou should make the top of the page have no boundaries but good work this is fun! I made it my home page so people trip out when they try to use "Google", and if I get bored its right there.
Reply to this commentVery creative indeed!!!
And very ambitious as well to topple Google in this manner! LOLz
Reply to this commentThis is pretty cool!! I'd use it. :)
Reply to this commentGud stuff, better than this, there are games based on these like www.gravitymaster.net. Try it, addictive game and tricky too.
However i noticed 1 thing in this, minimize the window, which does this falling and restore it , its all gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply to this commentHILARIOUS!!!!!!!
Reply to this commentlol....
it lagged so much on IE that the stuff when straight through the bottom and when i clicked on GOOGLE b4 it fell it orbited the mouse
Reply to this commentthats because its designed for google chrome (but should also work in firefox as far as I know)
Reply to this commentI don't get the point of this.
Reply to this commentLOL
THE POINT OF THIS IS TO HAVE FUN AND SORT OF UNDERSTAND GRAVITY....
AND TO APPLY GEORGE BURNS QUOTE TO THIS....
Reply to this commentWow...
Mind blowing..
Thanks
Reply to this commenthi
Reply to this commentReally fun! Especially dragging of the texts is super. Tigger is an amateur bouncer compared to this...
Reply to this commentworks with Safari 4 on OS X
Reply to this commentYou know they have chrome out for osx
I am using it right now
Reply to this commentyeah - both are running Webkit.... it's cool stuff
Reply to this commentIt's just awesome but I want to know in which software does they made this.
Reply to this commentNotepad. Seriously.
Reply to this commentany ANSI or Unicode text editor actually...
*Linux hater*=you
Reply to this commentChrome wasn't out on Linux when I did this piece so I had to use Windows and Notepad++
For the new stuff I'm using gedit on Ubuntu ;D
Reply to this commentYou mean you aren't using Chromium?
Reply to this commentYou reckon you could get a javascript version for a website to embed it?
Reply to this commentIt is JavaScript
Reply to this commentCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! google the best xD
Reply to this commentvery impressive
Reply to this commentI used the google logo as a huge rock then dropped it upside down then it smashed everything up then i tried using the search bar as a brick to smash everthing else. it landed upside down then i searched for google maps and i clicked search and it came up. this experiment is cool as. try doing google sphere - its even better, and more harder to use.
Reply to this commentwickedly brilliant!
Reply to this commentawesome! I added it to my website!
Reply to this commentHaha, my gf's homepage is set to google on her laptop so this will be sooo perfect.
Reply to this commentI really dont get that

Reply to this commenthow do i do this!
Reply to this commentWooooooooooooooo! Very neat. But apprehensions on it running very slow on some browsers!
Reply to this commentthis is halarious!! i love it!!
Reply to this commentStunning. Great concept and very tidy execution.
Reply to this commentiT IS SOOOOOOOOOO COOL! iV'E ALWAYS WANTED TO DO SOMTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE!
Reply to this commentthis programm will be super. i like verymuch
thankyou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply to this commentLove how the search results fall down on top of everything else! great job!
Reply to this commentIt is so fun after everything falls down and you type something in the search bar, and then the results come falling down too!
Reply to this commentWhat if the words could also break?? that would be pretty cool!
Reply to this commentPretty cool! You should get it to work with any website. THAT would not be your mother's javescript
Reply to this commentWay to go smarty-pants :}
You are great!
Reply to this commentumm im an amateur programmer.. but i think maybe (in response to the first comment) if you make the focus of the gravity at the spot of mouse click it would make it slightly more random....
Reply to this commentcan you make it random? it falls in same way if you retry again..
Reply to this commentlove it...very neat!
Reply to this commentOK i m confused i download google chrome (today, latest version) and it still doesn't work WTF
Reply to this commentinstall google chrome (sounds like you allready installed it)
open google chrome (look for it in the start menu, if you use windows)
open the webpage in google chrome, Just copy and paste the link or whatever, and then run it it should work, unless your processor cant support it all that well.
Reply to this commentgreat idea..takes the everyday stuff to a change :D
Reply to this commentFelicidades, esta muy bueno tu proyecto.
Saludos desde Mexico
Congratulations, your project is very good.
Greetings from mexico
Reply to this commentThis would be cool... if it worked 4 me. I have IE 7. Maybe i didn't let it load long enough (dial-up); i clicked the "Start Experiment" button and a new window opened w/ a slightly modified version of google. NOTHING HAPPENED. Oh well sounds awesome!!1!
Reply to this comment1. IE doesn't follow the standards. So I would have to do the piece from scratch for it (while it works on most of the other browsers with the same code).
2. Even if I manage to make it work on IE it will go too slow.
Reply to this commentwhy do the links work? it would be much easier when dragging if the links were disabled, because sometimes when i drag them, the links go to a different page, and i have to start all over.
Reply to this commentRotation of elements in Internet Explorer is possible with the following code:
function rotateElementIE(element, angle)
{
// Adapted from code at http://code.google.com/p/jquery-rotate/source/browse/trunk/jquery.rotate.js
if (angle >= 0)
{
var rotation = Math.PI * angle / 180;
}
else
{
var rotation = Math.PI * (360+angle) / 180;
}
var costheta = Math.cos(rotation);
var sintheta = Math.sin(rotation);
element.style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Matrix(M11="+costheta+",M12="+(-sintheta)+",M21="+sintheta+",M22="+costheta+",SizingMethod='auto expand')";
}
Reply to this commentThis works in IE 5.5 and up. And who was it that said this wouldn't work in Internet Explorer in the near future?
Reply to this commentSo, I need to do minimum 2 multiplications, one cos and one sin (unless I do a table) and then call DirectX Matrix transformation... for each element? Doesn't sound like something I'll put on the main loop, and neither I feel like having browser detection.
Why can Internet Explorer do like Gecko/Webkit does, both of them use the same style (probably expecting to merge in the future). No... Internet Explorer needed to be special.
Reply to this commentit rox i did not expect anyone to comme up with something like this
Reply to this commentInteresting experiment!
however will you consider bouncing individual characters too?
For example Google would become "Go-og-l-e"
that they would bounce with different angle.
Also if the background of every piece of search could become transparent, this expt is just perfect.
Keep up! Do tell me and everyone if you have an update!
Reply to this commentI particularly like beating the google logo with the search bar.
:-)
Reply to this commentLol! I had to read the comments to figure out that I could shake the window for some added fun. :D Played around sooo long xD Totally going to set this as people's home page next time they forget to lock their PC's (and they do forget that a lot I can tell you!).
Reply to this commentThis happends when you are triing to write "google" into the google

Reply to this commentImpressive, webrowsing with and exciting twist, great prank if you put a timer into it
Reply to this commentcool
Reply to this commentIt would be a great April Fool's day joke if you could make a Firefox extension that would make all the pages you visit do this, only on april Fool's day.
Reply to this commentthe experiment is coll but you need to have it easier for people to access things like maybe allowing them to click and drag what ever item they want to get to it.
Reply to this commentIt's oh-so-much fun to hit things with the text bar. 8D
Reply to this commentLOL This is amazing!
Reply to this commentYes they can, and there is nowt wrong with it.
Reply to this commenthow does it work?????????
Reply to this commentBaseball with the commas!!!! :) :D XD 8^D>
Reply to this commentHOW
Reply to this commentAdded support to Firefox 3.1+. Not really good results :S Long way to go Mozilla.
Reply to this comment;D Try downloading Google Chrome since in the video they USED chrome and it work great.
Reply to this commentonly problem is that the makers do not give clear instructions
1st. google will fall
2nd. you can drag stuff
3rd. Search something
4th. shake browser
there maybe something else i have not found
Reply to this commentEPIC COOL!!! Works in chrome, plus almost everything works in firefox 3.5b4 :DD
Reply to this commentwhoever created this experiement-
MARRY ME
Reply to this commentreally cool, but it needs sound effects.
Reply to this commentJohn is right, it needs sound.
Reply to this commentconcurn needs sound :)... extremely sweet concept though.. thanks for hooking us up
Reply to this comment=o Sound would be awsome..... like glass breaking/shattering or heavy rain sound as it slowly would tumble down. B)
Reply to this commentThis is awesome!
Reply to this commentany ideas on how to get the full effect on mozilla for mac os x? all it does is drop and then i can't move things around...
thanks
Reply to this commenti love it that was really thinking out of the box keep up the good (no great) work
Reply to this commentI'm working on a Firefox 3.5 compatible version. Earlier versions of Firefox can't handle rotations.
Reply to this commentHahaaa...
It is out of box
Reply to this commentI used the Google logo as 2 things.
1. A battering ram!
2. A sledgehammer!
My rating: 5/5
Reply to this commentyo this shit is crazy
Reply to this commentcool as crap can u make your own ?
Reply to this commentyes--view source, download the javascript, and add it to your site!
Reply to this commentAHAHAAHA -- blew my mind when I realized the search still works, even though the search text box is upside down and then the results come tumbling down from the top of the screen too! Brilliant! hahahahahaha -- well done!
Reply to this commentWtf is this u fucked idiots????!!!
:)
Reply to this commentI think it would be great if this idea was implemented into normal websites, so you could just grab elements, move them around, throw some off screen and stuff. It'd be awesome.
Reply to this commentGreaseMonkey could do this.
Reply to this commentYES that's exactly what i was thinking.
Reply to this comment=o That would be perfect. Why? Like lets say you are mad because of something the screen says. What do you do? Grab them and throw them off the screen to get sweet revenge. B)
Reply to this commentLOL

Reply to this commentgood
Reply to this commentThis is great! I used the scripts to make my own gravity page. It has to do with the browser wars, in which you can actually start a war by bashing up the smaller icons of the other browsers with the huge icon of chrome. It would be helpful if you released this as an API on code.google.com
Reply to this commentWhat would be really really awsome would be if you could create a browser engine, like a spinoff of chrome, that would do this to any website you visit!!!!!
Reply to this commentGreaseMonkey already has support for this.. you'd just have to port it.
Reply to this commentThat was fun! :D I don't think it worked in Firefox, but I use Chrome anyway. :P
Reply to this commentmy friend used this as an april fools joke and i can't figure out how to get if off. Could you help me?
Reply to this commentPiping in here. It's a good program, you can click and pick up pieces and then re-drop them, great for kids and yes pranks.
Reply to this commentIt also add element when we search something. For example, we search Google Earth, Google maps and other. It`s hard to control, as long as you tidy up elements on Google Gravity experiment.
Reply to this commentTested. Also work on Safari v.4. The problem is when the element on the bottom window and the window were resize or resized up ( ^), some or all element were lost and the users need to reload.
We hope the bug was fixed.
Reply to this commentIts... Simply awesome
Reply to this commentI want 2 say 2 things:
1: This is an awesome expirament or what? It'd be cool to do this with any website!
2: Goggle products just seem to gett better and better!
Reply to this commentThat looks really uber.

go Google gravity!!!
Reply to this commentw00t! seems to be the exclamation called for here, I think.
Reply to this commentJust downloaded Chrome and started using it but first did read the excellent 'comic book' style tutorial on design consideration ... Kudos!!! Brilliant concept delivery format. No talking down to the audience ... an yet avoidance of unnecessary esoteria ... to sound like one is super techy. Great scope objectives ... and hopefully ... security on plugin standards adopted.
I love this demo ... and for the persons that don't get it ... all I can say is ... well best kept to myself ... ask a friend who you think really understands IT and web technology and ask their opinion ...
Reply to this commentworks on safari too!
Reply to this commentThis is the best experiment!
Reply to this commentSlow on Chrome 2 running on Windows 7 RC1
Reply to this commentRC1 huh?
Reply to this commentWOW BEST THING EVER!
Reply to this commentI like this loads!
Any chance you could get this to work on any other site bar Google? I tried searching via that page and loading it up but nope.
Reply to this commentYou can. Read this: http://mrdoob.com/blog/post/644
Reply to this commentHonestly? What's the fackin' point? Just dont get it...not even cool. Boring in fact...Blah!
Reply to this commentKeep trying. Someday you'll get it ;)
Reply to this commentNo, because there's nothing to get, it's useless.
Reply to this commentYou're right, it's useless.
Reply to this commentuselessly awesome*
Fixed.
Reply to this commentit's great and amazing!
Reply to this commentThis was made in PHUN, wasn't it? Did a great job!
Reply to this commentNope. Box2D.
Reply to this commentI remember seeing something very similar to this on youtube.com promoting a new Wario game on the Nintendo wii.
http://www.youtube.com/experiencewii
Reply to this commentYeah, that one was annoying. Cos it was released months after the original working version of this got put on hold :( But hey, this one is javascript and uses your system skin, no image hacks, and you can apply the code yourself to any other site ;D
Reply to this commentits good to prevent spam
Reply to this commentCool!! ME gusta mucho!
Reply to this commentToo slow even on Chrome, sorry. )
Reply to this commentIts awesome at my PC....
Reply to this commentyou probably have an ancient PC . it runs perfect on mine ......
Reply to this commentHaha
Reply to this commentFantastic!!!!!!! ;)
Reply to this commentthis is awesome.. hope i see the same for all other pages.. soon
Reply to this commentPhenomenal concept...bravo@
Reply to this commentyou can put another page there and it will go on it!
Reply to this commentWOW!!... impresionante las bondades de JavaScript
Reply to this commentI researched a bit for giving some Firefox 3.1 and Opera support to this piece and found out that Opera doesn't have anything like webkit-transform or moz-transform. So I'm afraid Opera is out of the list :(
Firefox 3.1 may come soon tho.
Reply to this commentAlthough there may be a way of doing the hack with a SVG (thx p01)...
Reply to this commentThis is freking AWESOME !!!
Reply to this commentI set this as my friend's homepage and he totally freaked out!
Only when he checked the address bar to find out that it wasn't the actual Google page. Good times...
Reply to this commentit looks fun, but it doesnt work on ie7 or ie8 (big Surprise :D ) but what bothers me is that there is no rotation in opera or firefox :S.. it also seems a bit slow on both.. but i am not giving up on opera for a little lag..
chrome maybe fast, but opera is way more customizable.. i dont get how "simplicity" could make your browsing experience easier.. you need shortcuts where it suites you in order to make it easier..
but still the idea behind this is awesome.. great job
Reply to this commentActually, simplicity is the thing that made Google the most popular search on the web. People like to not have to look a bunch of clutter when they simply want to search. So applying that to a browser, make the actual browser a shell and then provide plugins (which will come in eventually) for functionality such as bookmark managers and such. And until then, play around with pointless but awesome stuff like this.
Reply to this commenthmm but we have yet to see these "plugins" ... I use chrome when I can but FF3 is still my main browser mainly for some addons that are indispensible... just hope FF3 can get process isolation soon...
Reply to this commentOf course any version of IE won't be able to properly load this experiment any time in the near future.
Reply to this commentJust tested on IE8... the page loads, and the elements drop... and keep dropping off the page. LOL
Reply to this commentVery nice way of searching! Hope the rest of the Internet someday soon gonna be like this!
Reply to this commentExcelent...!
Reply to this commentTry it on IE v8 watch... them... fall... in slow motion... And they never hit bottom, I think the part just keep falling forever! Fun.
Reply to this commentThis inspires me to update "WindMaker" from 2007: It animates the DOM elements according to current wind conditions in your area. http://stewdio.org/windmaker
Reply to this commentNeat concept, but it didn't seem to acquire the actual windspeed. It just jiggled around.
Reply to this commentnice!! gr8 one!!
Reply to this commentThat is so NEAT!
So, when will the rest of the web fall?
Happy,
-DDR
Reply to this commentThis is cool, especially searching for something in an up turned search bar!
Reply to this commentAwesome. You should make it so that everything in the page falls (like if I click on "more", it will also fall).
Reply to this commentI dunno, seems broken,everyone knows big G s heavier than little g.
Reply to this commentWell, then you should know that everything - big, small, medium falls at the same rate!
Reply to this commentwhat's so great about this? big deal it falls...
Reply to this commentGoogle Chrome is a product which insures advertisement delivery. I am never going back to ads in my think space, who knows what is lost with distraction. Chrome only offers sex appeal, which seems to go hand in hand with proclivity to be distracted by nonsense, it would be a shame to reinforce that association in our virtual world where anything is possible from considerate teens, to flexible minded elders and yes perhaps even sexy things which are not disposed to inciting ignorance.
Reply to this commentwe all know what Google Chrome is
Reply to this commentYour post makes me very sad. I don't think you understand the importance of creativity in our daily lives.
By the way:
Insure means to guarantee something with insurance or other financial instruments:
In most countries you need to insure your car against accidents.
Ensure means to do something to make sure or guarantee that something happens:
We send our kids to school to ensure they learn their grammar.
Please, before you try to make your seven line tirade look pretty by throwing in random words from your thesaurus, make sure you know what they mean because using them incorrectly only makes you look like more of an idiot.
Reply to this commenti think that you need to get a life
Reply to this commentI think you need to keep reading that definition:
Insure
...
4. Ensure
They're interchangeable in this sense. Now who's the idiot?
Reply to this commentYou need to read their full definitions, they are along the same line, but are used in different cases.
Reply to this commentThank you for your lesson on word use. I did make a mistake there but it was not from a thesaurus, and likely has been a mistake I have been making for years. I do agree with you that creativity is important especially given that 6 billion other people have roughly the same thinking equipment we do, and for the most part try about as hard for unique associations. You don't present an argument how Google Gravity allows for more creativity in the users life, and I don't see an argument. I will check back in a bit to see if there is anything you have behind your Google enthusiasm (which I share on all things Google not Chrome, and perhaps not Gravity).
Reply to this commentI apologize for the rudeness of my original post and I believe we got off on the wrong foot. I do agree that Gravity as a whole is not a useful tool, but I was more impressed from a developer standpoint at it's use of Javascript. This is where my enthusiasm for Chrome comes as well. As of this point the browser is not very customizable, but from a standpoint of efficiency I find it very impressive.
I again apologize for the rudeness of my original post and look forward to your next reply.
Reply to this commentI understand now that Gravity is an experiment to show a bound of user end customization. Good job, though there still seems to be a lot of confusion from people slowly figuring out it isn't a tool. I also see from the extent of your ability to manipulate this, that Ad-blocking is not far behind. (aside from the Privoxy proxy workaround).
Reply to this commentWell... the site is called "Chrome Experiments", so one might consider that a hint. :)
Reply to this commentAgreed...how could you possibly think this is a tool? Since when has having the elements on a web page on the bottom of the window been useful? It's an experiment, as is clearly detailed by the title at the top of the window. =]
Reply to this commentway cool
Reply to this commentmy eyes still hurt from all the stupid javascript stuff, banners, blink, marquees....
i think it's better to focus on compatibility and not on effects. web development is still a pain in the ass, especially CSS, THAT should be improved.
What was the internet for? if i remember well it was for obtaining and sharing information, right?
so is this here the purpose of a browser?
Reply to this commentYou're late on that argument man. Like 15 years late...
Reply to this commentAboslutely brilliant. Love the competition.
Reply to this commentThere is something SO SATISFYING about this experiment. Brilliant stuff, and making me a believer in webkit's recent CSS extensions.
Reply to this commentGreat!
Only criticisms: Chrome does not filter images (when scaling or rotation), which degrades images quality. And the Input box works but does not show the text you are typing.
Firefox does not support the transforms (rotations) necessary. I'll try FF 3.1b3 which I think does.
Reply to this commentInput box text works on Chrome 2.0 ;D rotations won't work on ff3.1 because I was too lazy and/or didn't want to add a condition on the render loop.
Reply to this commentThat looked great in Firefox 3.05
Reply to this commentwow, i am floored; and i'm trying my best not to startle my whole office by laughing uncontrollably!!
Reply to this commentOrgasmic! For the true fans of vandalism and generally anyone who enjoys seeing something loved and adored blown into pieces.
Reply to this commentfunny and cool!
Reply to this commentWow, works great in Safari 4.0 Beta! So awesome! This is going in my bookmarks.
Reply to this commentWorks well in Opera 9.64 Win32
Doesn't even work with IE6, but who cares? IE will probably be dead soon
Reply to this commentDoes anyone bother to vet the code around here? It doesn't work in other browsers because the code is purposefully designed to do so. Gods almighty folks, get a grip and due the dilligence.
Reply to this commentHaha! No man, There is nothing on the code to do that. The reason that rotations only work on Chrome/Safari is because it's using -webkit-transform for it.
Reply to this commentI DEMAND BOOKMARKLET WITH THIS THING! thumbs up
Reply to this commentLOL WUT
Reply to this commentThat's a good idea! Unfortunately I don't think it can work automatically. Someone will have to add the "box2d" class by hand to the specific elements.
Reply to this commentWhy we cannot add that class with javascript?
Reply to this commentTry it and you'll see why.
Reply to this commentThe test is ok, but ONLY IN CHROME the quality of image degrades with time
Reply to this commentamazing! very impressive javascript usage!
Reply to this commentawesome!
Reply to this commentnice :)
Reply to this commentcool ... works perfect on Chrome DEV
Reply to this commentwicked :D love the more link, flying off on its own, like the single flaming tyre that must roll out of all car explosions...
Reply to this commentWorks Exceptionally with newest Beta version of Chrome !!!
Kewl !!!
Reply to this commentworks brilliant with SAFARI
Reply to this commentdidn't work in my chrome, maybe its too old... couldn't access the textbox, except by tab
Reply to this commentWonderful! And April 1st is coming up soon... hmmm... I fancy playing some homepage-setting pranks... ;)
Reply to this commentSadly, it doesn't work that well for me. Most of the window contents including the search box fall out of the bottom of the window and are lost.
Chrome v 1.0.154.48, Vista Ultimate 64
Reply to this commentCooooooool~~
Reply to this commentlove this. totally love it. especially how the search works. it's awesome. did i mention that i love it?
Reply to this commentIt's a miracle~ Every part is work perfect, even they falls onto the bottom of the window
Reply to this commentcool!, it's also work on AIR1.5.1 mx:HTML
Reply to this commentAwesome...Search Field not working in FF3 :-(
Reply to this commentthats because its CHROME experements
Reply to this commentAwesome!
Awesome!
The actual search did it for me!
Reply to this commentWorks smoother and faster on firefox on my computer
Reply to this commentuh, teacher? there's something wrong with my computer...
Reply to this commentOMG. this is brilliant.
The search box works perfectly!!!!
Reply to this commentI use this browser daily now...where are the add-ons?
Also add better scripting support, some pages do not load correctly or at all if using Chrome.
Reply to this commentDoesn't require chrome 2 -- works fine in anything made using webkit: remember google doesn't write its own engine, it uses Safari's
Reply to this commentTo be fair, Apple didn't write their own engine either, they forked the Linux-based open source KDE Konqueror code, and lots of people (including Google) have improved the codebase over the years.
See here http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/Companies%20and%20Organizations%20that%20have%20contributed%20to%20WebKit
Reply to this commentGoogle does write its own Javascript engine. It's called v8. The page rendering engine--WebKit--is what you're referring to.
Reply to this commentGoogle should just switch to this one day if they come with Chrome, Firefox, or Safari just to throw people off. This is more fun than a barrel of monkeys!
Reply to this commenterr....
is a barrel of monkeys that fun?
Reply to this commentTRY THIS GUYS! Type a query into the Google search field and hit return. You actually get results that come raining down from the top of the screen! I love it!

Reply to this commentawesome!
im going to scare my friends with this one...
me-theres a virus on google
friend- what are you talking about?
me-come look
friend- holy ****
Reply to this commentThis is so fun! You can even type in the search bar and results will fall!
Reply to this commentGreat fun idea, but text input doesn't seem to work (using Chome on Windows XP).
Reply to this commentbrilliant.
Reply to this commentawesome!
Reply to this commentthis one runs on firefox mac, too ;)
Reply to this commentGrab the search box and enter into it some text to search for, hit enter key. See what happens to the results (no surprises, quite predictable)
