What is matter? Anything with mass, or anything that… matters? Anything that’s there? Real?

>What is matter?
An ontologically meaningless abstraction representing the primitive elements of a reductionist theory of physics. That's literally all it is and all it could possibly be.

>Anything that’s there? Real?
Physics deals with what is real. Yes. This means even space(time) is a thing.

>Physics deals with what is real.
No, it doesn't. On a semirelated note, most physicists reject realism.

Physics deals with describing and predicting phenomena. How that all relates to "reality" is getting murkier and murkier with every new discovery.

>>16783478
Metrological nihilism, or at best some form of restrictionism, the correct ontology of reality.

>phenomena
Which means a real observable event, so you just related physics to reality by way of real observable events, nothing murky about it.
