I came across a curious piece of news today that I want to share and that is physicist Stephen Hawking is traveling on a luxury cruise ship together with nine nurses who attend him exclusively, due to his delicate health situation. The physical will go to the island of Tenerife for the second edition of the Starmus Festival in which Nobel laureates, researchers, thinkers of science, culture, arts and music will share their knowledge between September 22 and 27.
The reason Stephen Hawking travels on a luxury cruise is because You cannot fly by prescription. This has led me to think that there are a number of diseases, most of them related to the lung, and related to recent cerebral circulation problems, whose patients are forbidden to fly, and yet they can travel by boat and travel and thus know different places on the planet.
In addition, for these people it is more relaxed and simple to do daily life on the high seas, enjoy the healthy sea air, and stay in shape or doing your exercises thanks to the collaboration of the crew.

On the opposite side of this, it must also be said that there is a rare disease that is the landing syndrome, a very rare condition that causes dizziness and constant swaying. The truth is that there are few studies on this condition, which usually occurs after traveling by boat, but also happens after traveling by plane. This syndrome It is related to the difficulty of the brain to adapt to the change of environment, But as I have commented, there are very few cases in the world, and curiously, women tend to suffer from it in a ratio of 9 to 1.
