Abstract
We argue that black p-branes will occur in the collision of D0-branes at Planckian energies. This extents the Amati, Ciafaloni and Veneziano and ’t Hooft conjecture that black holes occur in the collision of two light particles at Planckian energies. We discuss a possible scenario for such a process by using colliding plane gravitational waves. D-branes in the presence of black holes are discussed. M(atrix) theory and matrix string in curved space are considered. A violation of quantum coherence in M(atrix) theory is noticed.
