OK, I was wondered about this. After I had read The Brief History of time, I thought I would be a good idea to write Sir Hawking an e-mail/letter/whatever. Than I realized, what an absurd idea that was. However, it makes me wonder if the top physicists get and fanmail.

I didn't know where to put this question, it didn't seem right to put it to physics, so I put it here. Hopfully some physicist-star is going to look at this thread :).

You can certainly write to him, but due to his condition, you will likely receive a response from someone that responds to his fan letters.

Many scientists/authors will respond to you directly. It depends on what you've said and their schedule.

Stephen Hawking hasn't been knighted, so his title is not "Sir".
 


He wouldn't make a very good knight now would he?Sorry, I had to ;) hahaha
