OMG she is OUTSTANDING! Thank you again Camotero!!
"Not wrong but superfluous"
That's a great quote. 
Bryan I hope you are doing well! I know your interest in physics - have you run into Sabine Hossenfelder and do you have any opinion of her?
Not finding any link between Epicurus and Hossenfelder, but saw this:
and thought this was a great quote, too:
Thank you Don for that. The title looks promising.
One would like to think (since we admire Epicurus' thinking on his subject) that others would be logically drawn to the same conclusion, whether or not they have ever heard of Epicurus. So it shouldn't be surprising for us to find people who agree without mentioning Epicurus. I hope we will find that she has an affinity for Epicurus, but the disappointing thing in life is that so few seem willing to say what she seems willing to say.
"Bee" - Ha!
And Bingo THIS is what I was looking for from her:

It appears from this interview with Hossenfelder, that she does read philosophy. Might be interesting to just ask her about her views on Epicurus focus on natural science.
Horgan: Do you find philosophy useful?
Hossenfelder: Sometimes. I find philosophy useful to understand what it is that we really do in science, or at least the different ways to think about it. I would classify myself as an instrumentalist, but not all my colleagues are. And it’s good to know what their attitude is because it helps me put their motivations and interests into context.
Interesting video, but I doubt she’d align herself with Epicurus - she’s a hard determinist.
I wonder if she believes that the Universe, itself, is responsible for creating her videos.
