This seems no surprise when pilots can rapidly lose orientation and must rely on instruments and underwater divers can easily lose orientation and observe bubbles to work out which way is up. In the absence of visual clues the vestibular system often gets confused. for example “top shelf vertigo” where tilting the head upwards brings on dizziness. When floating supine in the dark, people can get the sensation of rotation even when as still as can be. When incoming signals conflict, sea sickness is well known and simple tricks like sloping floors can cause disorientation. Presumably astronauts are given instruments to over-ride body clues, as in artificial horizon devices. So is this new?

When we realize that patterns don't exist in the universe, they are a template that we hold to the universe to make sense of it, it all makes a lot more sense.
