Every educated person is familiar with "The Futurological Congress" by Stanislaw Lem and with the alternative chronology by Anatolii Timofeevich Fomenko.

Persistently applying the method of later to the general setup of former, we arrive to the following picture:

Our Universe is much smaller than we tend to think. All numerical values quantitatively expressing it, are much smaller then the common wisdom and textbook say.

It is well known, for example, that new-born babies see the word upside-down, and in a few days the brain compensates this by reverting all the images. Humans cannot grasp more than 7 objects at once, pretending to reason at the same time about much bigger numbers. So human brain does not represent the surrounding reality adequately, but distorts it heavily.

In reality, there is like few thousands people at whole on the Earth, the yearly budget of what is known as US is about half million dollars, and the number of elementary particles hardly exceeds one (or, perhaps, even zero).

We perceive the same people and objects seen at different circumstances and different times as different ones. Presumably this is a sort of defensive reaction against boredom and monotonicity of the very small and plain Universe.
