Does the Universe exist?") points out the impossibility of creating a descriptive geometry of The Universe when there is no other frame( i.e., a frame or tableau beyond, or outside of, The Universe as so- posited), within which to describe it. How can the description of The Universe begin when one can not get' outside' The Universe as posited? If we posit The Universe, we presume ourselves within it. Problems occur here: with the idea that the descriptor of The Universe can in some way" step beyond" the model he/ she has projected. <SEP> A Woman as a Friend is a 2014 romantic comedy film written and directed by Giovanni Veronesi and starring Fabio De Luigi and Laetitia Casta. <SEP> Born in Prato, he is the brother of the writer Sandro Veronesi.
