Is it that we are not able to sense the cosmic movement of which we are a part - or are we born with the sense and then subdue it?

I believe the "cosmic movement" is essentially free fall. We wouldn't be able to sense that -- except as the local absence of motion. If I'm wrong in this, I'm sure our resident experts will be pleased to leap all over me with corrections.

Thank you so much for your insight!

You may well be right about free fall and cosmic movement. But isn't it the absence of a fixed reference point in the field of view that aggravates motion sickness?
