Query: A Note on the Stability of Quantum Supermembranes   We re-examine the question of the stability of quantum supermembranes. In the
past, the instability of supermembranes was established by using a regulator,
i.e. approximating the membrane by SU(N) super Yang-Mills theory and letting $N
\rightarrow \infty$. In this paper, we (a) show that the instability persists
even if we directly examine the continuum theory (b) give heuristic arguments
that even a theory of unstable membranes at the Planck length may still be
compatible with experiment (c) resolve a certain puzzling discrepancy between
earlier works on the stability of supermembranes. Presented at the 2nd
International Sakharov Conference in Moscow, May 1996.
