      You can’t feel gravity. What we feel really is acceleration, the acceleration of the earth pushing us up against gravity.

      Because of relativistic frames of reference.

      Standing on a surface in a gravity well means you’re being constantly pushed out of an inertial frame, by not allowing you to follow a geodesic path in spacetime, and the same effect happens under acceleration.
