Why we don't feel the universe acceleration ?

Thanks in advance

The acceleration of the universe is a metric expansion, not a proper motion acceleration. Nothing "feels" the acceleration because it's not the same thing as going up in an elevator, which is actual acceleration. In the universal acceleration on cosmological scales, things just get farther apart.
