Kodak's disc camera was built around a fool-proof concept: a film cartridge containing a disc of 15 tiny frames.

With Physicist James Hartle, he has derived a quantum wave describing a self-contained universe that, like the earth's surface, has no edge or boundary. If that is the case, says Hawking, Einstein's general theory of relativity would have to be modified, and there would be no singularities. "The universe would not be created, not be destroyed; it would simply be," he concludes, adding provocatively, "What place, then...
