Acceleration is change of velocity, son.
What I am saying, patronising child, is that you cannot tell the
difference between gravity and an "upward" acceleration merely by
sitting in a chair.
By sitting in a chair you experience an upward force balanced by a
downward force, but you do not experience acceleration.
As I said above, there is no difference between your experience of
gravity in your chair on earth, and in your chair in a continuously
accelerating spaceship. The effects are the same.
