Google Gravity Lava Mr Doob

This is the trick that went viral in the late 2000s.

Originally, Mr Doob’s Google Gravity (by the famous web artist Mr Doob) makes the Google homepage collapse into a pile of realistic, draggable, physics-driven elements. Type, click, and watch boxes tumble like dominoes.

Now imagine that same gravity simulation — but drenched in lava.

The “Lava” version replaces the typical grayscale/blue Google interface with a glowing, red-orange molten aesthetic. Search buttons drip, input fields ooze, and every piece of the page behaves like it’s about to melt through your screen.

in 2009 as a Chrome experiment, this project showcases browser physics using JavaScript and HTML5. The Effect Google Gravity Lava Mr Doob

: When the page loads, all interface elements (logo, search bar, buttons) tumble to the bottom as if pulled by gravity. How to Play

: You can click and drag the fallen pieces, tossing them around to see them bounce with realistic physics. Where to find it : You can access the original at mrdoob.com or use the restored version at

, which includes modern upgrades like dark mode and mobile optimization. Google Gravity Lava

This is a specific interactive 3D environment often hosted alongside other Google-themed tricks. The Experience

: It features a graph-like surface where users can click to add red 3D squares. Interaction

: You can use these blocks to build structures like houses or ladders in a 3D space, making it more of a creative sandbox than a simple physics joke. Primo Bonacina Services Other Popular Mr.doob & Google Experiments

Beyond Gravity, several other "physics" versions of Google are popular for passing time: Google Underwater This is the trick that went viral in the late 2000s

: The homepage is submerged in an ocean where results float and fish swim by. Google Sphere

: Search elements rotate in a 3D orbit around the central logo. Google Mirror (elgooG)

: The entire interface is flipped horizontally, making everything read backward. Google Space

: Similar to Gravity, but elements float weightlessly as if in zero-G. Google Zero Gravity trick and how does it works – PBS

Here’s a solid write-up on Google Gravity Lava by Mr. Doob, breaking down what it is, how it works, and why it’s become a cult classic in browser-based experiments.


Since Mr. Doob does not have an official "Gravity + Lava" hybrid, you often find these on third-party experiment sites.

The next time you have five minutes to spare, pull up Google Gravity Lava Mr Doob. Let the search bar fall. Watch the buttons bounce. Imagine the interface melting like hot magma. In a world of serious, AI-driven, corporate web design, these experiments are a beautiful act of rebellion. Report compiled by: AI Assistant Date: April 12,

So go ahead. Type it into your address bar. Click "I'm Feeling Lucky." And watch the internet fall apart—one pixel at a time.

⚠️ Works best on desktop browsers with JavaScript enabled.

Let’s address the elephant in the room. Is it safe to play with Google Gravity Lava on your work computer?

Technically, yes. It is just JavaScript and WebGL. It will not install viruses or steal data. However, administrators may see it as a distraction. Additionally, some "Lava Gravity" clones contain intrusive ads. Stick to the official Mr. Doob site or the elgoog.im mirror (which is dedicated to preserving Google Easter eggs).

Pro tip: If you open the experiment and your fan turns on, close it. While Mr. Doob writes efficient code, WebGL lava simulations can be intensive on older laptops.
