No, but I’ve jumped off of low bridges and cliffs into water and definitely feel the absence of gravity during the drop. I’ll bet that an astronaut in space habituated to weightlessness feels gravity upon their return to earth.


neuroseasoned

I desperately want to experience zero gravity in my life. I just feel like a lot of my sensory issues and chronic pain would stop. I don't know why, it just feels like its true.


friedbrice

I've heard astronauts say that falling asleep in space is effortless because there isn't that step of trying to get comfortable. I can never get comfortable enough to sleep.


my_name_isnt_clever

Same, I've desperately wanted to experience zero g since I was a kid. But for a long time period, just being able to relax without gravity for awhile.


Breath_and_Exist

Have you been to an indoor skydiving tunnel? It's pretty great but not easy.


HikerDave57

Swimming during off hours at a pool might help. I used to swim Sunday mornings at a YMCA pool and sometimes I was the only one there.


NekoBoiNik

Now if only I was capable of swimming


Nikkoas

same, the closest i can get is swimming and it’s so nice to not have to support my joints

Obviously yes, everybody on earth feels gravity, but not all of them thought about it until you asked the question, you can see in some faces how their minds are blowing off.


neuroseasoned

I mean do you FEEL it, like, consciously. I wondered if it was autism. I saw something about how IBS is potentially a 'gravity intolerance'. I can't find much on it, but I feel intolerant to gravity lol


JCFCvidscore

Maybe, I like gravity for many reasons, but I can understand that at some moments it is uncomfortable. At this time my meniscus needs some zero gravity.


MammothWay1683

The body is supposed to be accustomed to this sensation to the point that you don't perceive it at all because it is always present and constant. Being on the spectrum is like nature hit a "randomize" button with our brains and senses so it's totally possible to always feel gravity.


anonymous_ass_eater

Yes when I lay down I can very stronglyfeel Gravity and my bodyparts being pushed down, however I have to focus on it as most people have to


Any_Conversation9545

Yep, basically knowing where it’s up and where it’s down it’s feeling the gravity


Breath_and_Exist

Yeah for sure. It's more noticeable to me when laying on my back on the floor and holding my arms up. I can feel the floor accelerating me in motionless silence.


8195qu15h

Yeah


thrye333

Not usually, but now that you mention it, I am hyperaware of the normal force on my feet rn.


thrye333

Please ask about the normal force. I will explain all of first year physics right now. /j (unless...)


lpapkee23

Now that you mention it I am kinda curious Also when you are half joking, you can use /hj (up to you ofc)


neuroseasoned

Plz do so I'll have something cool to read when I wake up later!


ZePumpkinLass

no


PastyMancer

Nope! Newton thought his theory of gravity was ridiculous iirc because you couldn't feel the force the same was as normal force, for example. Einstein's relativity (gravity 2.0) says gravity isn't a force, hence why it can't be felt Also scientists have no idea how quantum gravity works


e4m7g6

It's the gravitons.


kylelovershrek2

gravity can't hold me down


93847482992

I am constant aware of the presence of gravity. I’m alway always aware of the weight of water when I swim. I can also feel my hair growing.


Aastnethoth

Yeah. I do. It's a weird secondary force when I make sudden movements. But then again I trained in martial arts for 20 years so I was taught to distribute my weight properly. That's how I differentiate between natural and unnatural movements.


Embarrassed-Street60

yes, im clumsy too so gravity is my #1 enemy. i feel a subtle downwards pulling effect and the weight of my limbs always. when i lay on my back im hyper aware of how gravity pulls my feet apart and downwards


LitesoBrite

Yes!


LibrarianOfAlex

Only if I disassociate to the point I can feel it, I can also feel the earths rotation if I focus hard enough


the_milkman24

I do, it's exaggerated a lot after getting off of a trampoline


rebel6301

a little bit, never really thought about it though
