Would the receptors for equilibrium work in space zero at gravity?

0

They do, because they are based more on inertia than on gravity. But they are influenced by gravity. Their normal equilibrium state is a steady-state acceleration of 9.8m/s^2. In zero gravity, that acceleration is gone. But the sensors gradually adapt to the new equilbrium without that acceleration.
