英國物理學家 Stephen Hawking（霍金）突然逝世，全球一片惋惜之情，霍金生平對宇宙學和黑洞研究貢獻良多，除了獲得學術上的肯定之外，不少科技巨頭也趁霍金逝世發文悼念。
蘋果 CEO Tim Cook 在 Twitter 發帖悼念 Stephen Hawking，引用了霍金曾經引用過的一句名言：「The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge」，認為霍金的生命和意念將持續激勵我們，然而 Tim Cook 卻一度將 Hawking 串錯到 Hawkins，結果重新發 Tweet 修正。
