Can you put a 8cm DVD into a PS3?

What I can't understand is as to how exactly does it "center" such a small disc in place. What is the science involved in this?

Think of it like a pair of scissors. When open all the way the PS3 can accept regular discs, in the center of the loader is a switch that senses when there is a disc present and begins to "grip" down on the disc. Just like scissors, it would close down to any size (to an extent) and eventually grip the disc so that it can retract it into the loader centered.
Hope I explained that okay!!!!!!
