your eye "globe" is connected to and controlled by extraocular musculature. if you look to the left, for instance, the muscles on the right side are being "stretched", and they have a limit:

I can keep rolling mine for as long as I choose to, they don't stop. You should see your doctor.
Or do you mean why can't you look inside your head? What good would that do?? Your eyes aren't designed for that. Besides, they're not free-floating, they're attached in the back, and you wouldn't want to rip the attachments there or else your eyes wouldn't do you much good.

The set of muscles in your eye socket hold your eyeball in place. Plus your eye is attatched to your optic nervin the back and is "plugged in" to your brain. It is not like having a marble in there! O^O

Because it's attached to the rest of your head. It's not stuck in there like a golf ball.

I'm not sure, but I think it has something to do with your optical nerve, possibly it is to protect your eye from damaging itself.

your eyes are attached to muscles that connect to the brain, your brain controls these muscles very carfuly and it makes it so your eyeballs dont over compensate
