Matter is the only substance that can provide objective existence in space and physical reality to an entity. Matter constitutes all real entities. Due to lack of a reference, we have no measuring scale to determine the matter contents of real objects. Instead, one attribute of matter (mass) is taken to represent the equivalent of matter contained in material objects. Mass, used for this purpose, is itself often bifurcated into inertial mass, gravitational mass, etc. Inertial mass is a measure of inertia, a property attributed to the 3D material bodies. Gravitational mass is derived from the magnitude of gravitational attraction experienced by a 3D material body. However, the importance accorded to mass (in place of 3D matter contained in an object) caused the matter to be regarded as an unnecessary entity even for the existence of material bodies and encouraged the developments of exotic theories and assumptions of mysterious particles. Devising a logical measurement scale can help restore the glory to matter, rightly due to it being the only substance that can provide existence to all real objects.
