Liu, Moore, Seiberg<br />

Horowitz, Polch<strong>in</strong>ski<br />

• For special k<strong>in</strong>ematics the str<strong>in</strong>g amplitudes<br />

diverge.<br />

• The energy of an <strong>in</strong>com<strong>in</strong>g particle is blue<br />

shifted to <strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>ity by the contraction at the<br />

s<strong>in</strong>gularity, which generates <strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>itely large<br />

gravitational field and distorts the geometry.
