    Also has to do with momentum. Just as you cannot feel motion or speed after a while in a car or plane, except on a larger scale. Unless outside matter is stationary while you travel (wind in your face, not applicable on a planetary scale save for meteors), you can only percieve accelleration and deceleration. The earth's rotation is pretty constant, slowing ever so slightly over millenia.
