Stephen Hawking replied to listener's letter
5 live listener Matthew once wrote to Stephen Hawking in 1990, looking for an answer to a question he and his friend had.
He received a response from the physicist, who cleared up the debate with a letter.
Matthew still has the letter to this day and read it out during 5 live's 'Your Call', after the news that Hawking died peacefully at home aged 76.
