Just watched an old Veritasium video about how gravity is an illusion, that the ground we walk on is actually pushing us up, etc. If gravity isn't a force, what is the explanation for a launching astronaut being "pushed" into his seat by G "force"? Shouldn't he feel like he's stationary?

@misslovelymess So helpful.
@poemblaze lol. Sorry. That’s all the physics I know. But it does seem like you’ve fallen down a bit of a rabbit hole. Hopefully someone can help you.
@misslovelymess It's my own fault. Or is it the fault of Derek from Veritasium?
@poemblaze I will admit, my brain shuts down when thinking about big physics questions.
I know the answer involves mathing,
@misslovelymess I've gotten feedback from one person who knows what he's talking about. Late at night is when we think of these questions.
@poemblaze Very good point.
@poemblaze Have you asked Alfred?
@poemblaze Forking Derek.
Although I will say, should you pose this question when more folks are active, I’m sure someone can explain it to you.
