So would all the other planets, so there’d be a non-zero chance we’d smack into one of them. Most likely though we’d become a very, very cold rogue planet.

0ops@lemm.ee 1 day agoThis is the cutting-edge of my understanding so if I’m wrong somebody call me out, but I think because gravity is warping space-time and not actually pulling anything, we wouldn’t feel an inertia change. Our inertia would be maintained, but the space-time we’re going through would suddenly be shaped different, so we’d follow a new path

How do you figure? Space is fucking huge. I don’t see how any planets could collide.

The part you’re missing is that earth isn’t a point in space. That’s why there’s tides caused by the sun (which are different than tides caused by the moon)
A person wouldn’t feel the difference, but the tides would slosh back when the solar gravity stops effecting them.
