Except they are not, as objects of experience. They are redefined in physics. This is related to the problem of qualia.

Materialists often attempt to consign qualia to the mind, but this merely passes the buck since the mind is just another bit of matter that cannot, according to the materialist’s own metaphysical commitments, “host” such things as qualia. Some materialists are so obstinately committed to materialism that, having realized this glaring flaw, will go so far as to embrace eliminativism which involves the denial of qualia on the grounds that materialism cannot account for them.
