I'm not sure really what today's physicists think matter is, but of what I've read - e.g. Sean Carroll and Max Tegmark - they seem confused: "It's just information/math" or something like that. Makes one want to kick something. "After we came out of the church, we stood talking for some time together of Bishop Berkeley's ingenious sophistry to prove the nonexistence of matter, and that every thing in the universe is merely ideal. I observed, that though we are satisfied his doctrine is not true, it is impossible to refute it. I never shall forget the alacrity with which Johnson answered, striking his foot with mighty force against a large stone, till he rebounded from it -- *I refute it thus*."
