Qualitative experience (Qoalia) is one of the biggest obstacles to the truth of physicalism. How to explain joy, happiness, sorrow and pain with physics is not a simple dilemma for physicists. In the meantime, Barbara Montero; One of the most famous claimants of physicalism, by presenting a special meaning of "is" in the definition of physicalism (everything is physical) claims that development can be created in the "physical" sense. For example, when we say "water is H2O", it does not necessarily mean that water is the same as H2O, but it can mean that water is derived from and composed of H2O. Correspondingly, qualitative experiences (mental affairs), although not the same as physical (mental) affairs, are metaphysical and based on them, and the same amount is sufficient for the qualitative experiences of physical experiences. In this article, we present the translation of "Physicalism" by Barbara Montero in three steps, critique metaphysics and prove that this doctrine proves the maximum coexistence or change between mental and physical matters. And the coexistence or change between mental and physical matters cannot be a valid reason for applying the word "physical" to qualitative experiences such as pleasure.
