A new study suggests that taking leisure trips can do more than just help you relax. Researchers found that travel may reduce stress, boost metabolism, improve circulation, and help keep the body in balance—factors that could slow down premature aging. The study, published in the Journal of Travel Research and widely covered by outlets like Forbes, looks at how travel can support both physical and mental well-being.
Saudi Arabia has been officially recognised as home to the world’s tallest, fastest, and longest roller coaster. This milestone reflects the Kingdom’s continued investment in world-class tourism, entertainment, and infrastructure under Vision 2030. Known as Falcon’s Flight, the record-breaking attraction is located at Six Flags near Riyadh and holds the global records for speed, height, and length among roller coasters.
Scientists say they have observed octopuses deliberately throwing shells, algae, and other debris underwater—often aiming at specific targets. New research suggests these actions are not random, but intentional behaviours used during moments of social tension, competition, or irritation. In several cases, octopuses repeatedly targeted the same individuals, leading researchers to believe this behaviour reflects awareness and memory of past interactions.
