Why is it that babies like being rocked to sleep yet as we get older rocking can be uncomfortable such as on a boat?
In: Biology
Humans sense of balance is largely derived from bubbles of fluid by our ears. The fluid moves around as we move like a bubble in a carpenter’s level. But the fluid gets thicker as we age and is less accurate for tracking movement. So while children like merry go rounds and usually don’t get carsick, as humans age they find such things to be less pleasant and get car sick more easily
