    Yeah, exactly, still feels the same as accelerating to some speed (and then stop accelerating further), but afterwards you see that the ground around you isn’t moving.

    About the same as seating backwards in a car/bus/train/plane/bicycle/horse/(space)ship/running backwards/etc - ppl say it’s disorienting bcs you are “pushed back in the seat & then you aren’t moving anymore”.
