They are certainly *physical*, but I think very few scientists would say that light is matter or material. I have even seen a "definition" of matter as that which is made up of first generation fermions (up and down quarks and electrons). ![[Image: 1529436565897814016-ftmmcbeueaevahn.jpg]](https://badinage1.files.wordpress.com/2023/01/1529436565897814016-ftmmcbeueaevahn.jpg)

one has the mass–energy equivalence, and so, massless particles, such as photons, would have zero invariant mass. Materialism would certainly encompass the notion of fields (of course, the basis of QFT), where at very high energies a field would produce a particle (e.g., the Higgs boson).
Matter and mass are not equivalent terms.
Energy would be in Joules, mass would be in kilograms and '"c squared' would be meters squared divided by seconds squared.

I'm tired of discussing things with those who, clearly, have no desire to know.
