According to research, our brain can only keep 3-4 pieces of information at a time. Furthermore, this data can only be saved for 20-30 seconds. We forget it after this period unless we keep renewing it in our minds over and again. For example, you are driving while chatting on the phone (do not do this!). The person on the other end of the line gives you a number, but you can't write it down, so you memorize it. You repeat the number several times to keep it in your short-term memory until you disconnect and write it down.

Within three hours, the suspects had been interrogated in ways that led them to believe in and confess to crimes they had not committed.

Josyer disclosed the book in 1952, claiming that it was authored by Pandit Subbaraya Shastry (1866–1940), who dictated it between 1918 and 1923. In 1957, the first spacecraft was launched. Looking at the images above, you can see how similar these designs are. So, how did a Pandit in India envisage the concept of a spaceship 34 years before the first spacecraft launched? Is it just a coincidence?
