Hole Mr Doob: Google Gravity Black

The “black hole” element intensifies this. It turns the browser into a cosmic drama. The user watches familiar icons—the colorful Google logo, the magnifying glass—spiral toward oblivion. It is a simulation of entropy. And yet, a simple page refresh restores everything to perfection. There is no real destruction, only play.

: Once clicked, the "black hole" begins to pull every link, image, and text snippet toward the center in a hypnotic spiral. google gravity black hole mr doob

The search bar, the logo, the buttons, and the text links suddenly succumb to a simulated gravitational field. They tumble downward, pile up at the bottom of the screen, bounce off each other, and can be clicked, dragged, and thrown around the window like debris in zero gravity that has suddenly found a floor. The page is no longer a static interface; it has become a sandbox governed by Newtonian physics—mass, velocity, friction, and restitution. The “black hole” element intensifies this

In 2010, Google introduced a feature called "Google Gravity" which allows users to experience the search results page in a more interactive and playful way. When you search for "Google Gravity" and click on the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button, you'll be taken to a webpage with a simulation of a gravity-defying experience. The search results and other elements on the page will appear to be pulled down by gravity, as if they are being affected by a gravitational force. It is a simulation of entropy
