The sensation will be in the absence of what you are used to,
mostly reaction forces from floor, chairs, beds, etc.

I think that Stefan Jeglinski identified an interesting topic.
May I suggest that he formulates it as a misconception (or
a paradox) item for our list. If nobody provides a good
argument against the wording of the item I will be happy
to add it to our list. If it is presented as a paradox, I will
start a new list, just for future paradoxes. Paradoxes may
be very useful  in teaching. Most of us would probably like
to see physics and science paradoxes posted here.
