I think the main reason is humans don't pay enough attention to it. I travel a lot, but I live over 6,000 feet. When I travel to sea level I can feel it. I get headaches and can have trouble breathing. When I mountain climb I often go over 13,000 feet. Even though the air is thinner it feels like there is a lot less pushing down on you. If you travel pay attention and you will feel something similar as you walk off the plane.

In my part of the world people complain all the time, usually when the burden lessens due to low pressure or high humidity. Our bodies operate best in a small range of pressures around 14.7 psia (760 Torr), so we are usually not aware of air pressure which is the burden of the atmosphere above us. Change that pressure too much, though, and you can get some serious malfunctions.

Because the air pressure outside equals the air pressure inside us.

actually we carry around 10 kilograms of weight on our head all the time but we evolved in this environment so its NORMAL for us to carry such weight and don't feel it. so our body's internal pressure evolved to accommodate such an atmosphere :D

You're holding the translation book upside down, Einstein.
