      The obvious joke to that question is ‘What’s the matter with you?’, but I’m not that lame….am I ??? 😉

      A physics question, biology’s my subject, but I know matter is everything that you can see, touch and feel.

      I think wikipedia may actually be correct on this one, but ask a Physics teacher to explain better than me.

      Matter is everything- any object that takes up space is considered matter.

      Objects that take up space and have mass are called matter. See website for more details, I am not a physicist.
