Do you feel a train or plane moving at speed once it has reached a constant velocity?

You notice acceleration not constant velocity so in your example the thing that would need to change is our ever present acceleration towards the center of the Earth.

That downward pull (of gravity) is what we get used to and no longer notice and it is that which contributes towards space sickness.

"Humans doeventually adjust to living in a weightless environment. But their innerears have to go through a second round of readjustment to full Earth gravity once they return — and scientists still don't know how easily the inner ear can make that switch after longer space missions."
NASA Uses Fish to Fight Space Sickness

EDIT: Having thought about it... Yes there is some rotational effect because speed is not in a straight line but it is very slight. Good question OP.
Im not gonna take the bait, but what i will say is that different longitudes supposedly spin at different rates, according to the heliocentric theory

So yes, you should feel a major difference in acceleration going from the equator either due north or due south

But no one ever has or ever will:francis:

First off, "coli scientists" made me :mjlol:


Have you, or do you know of someone that can feel the earth's rotation?

The premise you laid out of a static, non rotating, planet is actually more interesting than the question. I'd like to hear more of your thoughs/details about that place, it's shape, location, etc.
i guess it would be something like the asteroid belt colony on the Expanse tv show?

or the world in the Dark City film?

I would guess there would be a ton of other factors that would need adjusting to before the rotation of Earth

To answer the question, I'd say no. Assuming he's human and doesn't have some extra senses that we don't have he wouldn't feel a thing..

I may be wrong but Earth is far too massive and it's rotation consistent to feel it's rotation..

But if Earth stopped spinning suddenly, we'd all be dead


That's kind of crazy to even think about since the earth rotates at 1000 mph.

We'd be the velocity vector :russ:

Asteroids rotate though.

And that's some wacky physics in that movie. Thin layer of brick protecting them from space, all of them standing around breathing fine, instead of being sucked out into space... but for all we know we can all be getting duped into a false reality much like the Obergruppenführer :yeshrug:

Everything in space is moving. There is no isolated non spinning surface

I'm just trying to imagine it lol

I'd go through the walls of the house I'm in.. Or maybe the house would be uprooted quick enough to travel with me:ohhh:

Or is that enough force to completely obliterate all my organs before I smashed against anything?

Where's Neil Tyson?:why:
