is rotating at 1039 mph, orbiting the sun at 66,500 mph, revolving around the center of the milky way at 500,000 mph, and hurtling through space at an even higher speed due to the expansion of the universe...
Why don't I get motion sickness?

The equation also known as
-(G*(Mass of Object one)*(Mass of Object two))/(Distance between the two objects)
Objects one and two being you and the earth, and G being the gravitational constant of 6.67*10^-19 (I think that's correct)
EDIT: it was 6.67*10^-11... The -19 came from the charge of an electron, LOL

Actually, the reason isn't because of only gravity. Because you always been moving around space at relatively the same constant speed, there is really zero acceleration caused by the earth. No force is enacted on you, and not to mention, everything on Earth is long used to it. You can't really feel it anyways.

The reason you don't get motion sickness is because you perceive none of that motion.
Everything around you is moving at the same rate as you, resulting in net zero motion.
You don't get motion sickness when, as far as you can tell, nothing is moving.

Yes... what does it mean...?

a disagreement exists between visually perceived movement and the vestibular system's sense of movement.
if you were to go in a car, your eyes WOULD perceive the moving landscape, but your vestibular system sends nothing, so your brain assumes that you are poisoned, thus motion sickness.
as for the whole earth rotating thing rain got that covered. we're built to habituate! if the earth were to suddenly slow down or speed up, then we would have a problem.

Is this suppose to be some kind of religious thing? (sorry your sig makes it seem as though that is what you are aiming for)
you were born moving
you have spent every day of your life moving and when you die you will still be moving.
there are many reasons why but mostly gravity and ^

No, I was just curious.
