Small particiles don't drop

When a mixed size bunch of particles (call Corn Flakes) in the article are shaken the large ones move to the top and the small ones separate to the bottom, it is because of the size of the particle not gravity. The small one can more easily fit between the big ones and this provides for the separation effect.
