In fact, I would say that it is actually not even true that physical matter is the majority of all representation of energy.
Heat and light are definitely physical phenomena. So is radioactivity. Radiowaves. Soundwaves. Nowadays we even have tools to actually measure these, and allow us to see and describe them! That's what I was driving at - the fact that it's immaterial does not mean it's not physical. I'm thinking physics, not physicality.
If a thing is a source of energy, and it can directly affect the physical world, then it must be in some way physical, even if it's, say, cosmic alien energy from the 9th dimension.
