Abstract
It is argued that a unitarity-violating but weakly invariant superscattering matrix exists for leading-order large- dilaton gravity, if and only if one includes in the Hilbert space Planckian "thunderpop" excitations which create white holes. apparently cannot be realized in a low-energy effective theory in which such states have been integrated out. Rules for computing leading-large- superscattering are described in terms of quantum field theory on a single multiply connected spacetime obtained by sewing the future (past) horizons of the original spacetime with the past (future) horizons of its conjugate. Some difficulties which may arise in going beyond leading order in are briefly discussed.
