My final summary of what Dark Matter and Dark Energy are for this blog.
Matter / energy from the big bang that was not incorporated into fabric of space-time at the beginning of the universe due to its speed.
Once the fabric of space-time was created, no matter was able to enter. I would like to call this the speed of light barrier.
Dark matter can only “exist” as an energy release interaction as this matter is pulled into the fabric of space-time and destroyed.
If matter or energy currently occupies the location where Dark Matter is attempting to enter the fabric space-time, it is prohibited from entry/existence.
Due to the speed of time difference, the fusion release of energy would occur over long periods, and would appear as a very weak energy release.
When the universe reached a larger size, it allowed more Fast/Dark matter to be destroyed as it joined into space-time. The effect kept the universe from collapsing in on its self due to the pull of gravity.
I suspect the effect would look like this.
If you were looking at two galaxies on the same path traveling away from us, it would appear Dark Energy was on our side of the nearer galaxy, and Dark Matter was intermingled with the galaxy, and also on the far edge of the nearer galaxy. A large amount of Dark Energy should be behind the further galaxy; with the amount of energy dropping off quickly at a point were you near the far side of the closer galaxy.

It appears no one read my last comments so please forgive my further rambling.
I believe Dark matter was created in the big bang, and was locked out of space time as matter slowed down, and space-time was created. I think interaction with matter in space-time was a prohibited action for materials attempting to exist, the interaction would distroy space-time. So the matter/energy that is nearly locked out of space time would take infenantly complex routes thru space time in order to exist, this is material that had it’s entire existance thru time planned when it became part of our universe.
image a board full of nails, and this matter as a magentic string drawn to the board, and repeled by the nails. The string will fall to the board, in the simplest configuration, but it fall to the board.
Therefore, when space-time was formed, this matter/energy followed infinitely complex routes thru space-time that did not allow interaction with material in the sub-light universe. The key to this is Time-Space had already been mostly formed, and entire existence / route this material takes thru the span space time existence was determined as it was folded into existence, no matter how complex that route would have to be.
I believe it is part of all matter, and the lack of sub-light matter to interact with causes it to slow, and be destroyed as it attempts to enter space-time. I believe this is matter that is there, but since it is skipping over the surface of space-time, it cannot interact with us. It does not interact the gas cloud, the Sun that is created, or carbon molecule on the planet that follows it is part of or comes in contact with, because to that molecule it is all three at once. This matter would only have an existence as we understand it when it is destroyed attempting to sub-light universe.

I have a theory of what (some) of the Dark Matter, and Dark Energy is. I believe it is matter traveling too fast to be folded into space-time. Matter traveling at just less then the speed of light squared.
During the big bang, all possible speeds were achieved. Soon after the big bang space-time / the sub light speed universe was created.
For matter/energy to have an existence in our universe, it does not have to be folded into space-time. Matter energy must interact with space-time prior to the end of the universe. It must be converted to energy at just above the speed of light. Most of this matter will only interact with space-time at the end of our universe when all matter in the known universe is accelerated back to the speed of light. For some of the dark matter the entire span of existence of our universe would be very short let us say 1 second. However, that time or fraction of that would be enough for this matter to be created, exist, and be converted to energy that interacts with space-time prior to the end of the universe allowing such matter to exist.
I believe the speed of light restricts matter transfer in either direction. Know matter can not travel faster then the speed of light, and matter that is traveling at speeds multiple times the speed of light can not slow down to enter into our space time. It is the slowing of dark matter and it is burning up at the speed of light barrier that creates some of the dark energy.
I have no little explanation why Dark Matter does not crash into matter in our space-time other than it cannot and still have an existence shortly after time space was formed.
Dark matter is a cold thin matter that passes thru protons / neutrons without interaction, or I would like to think it is a chameleon and not have a specific nature, when it hits a lead molecule its lead, when it hits zinc its zinc. Dark Matter does not have a specific nature, as we know it.
I think Dark Matter does interact with electrons.
Of course, for dark matter, electrons would be standing still, and they would be flying past. In large voids between galaxies, the lack of electrons to interact with would cause a slowing of this matter, and its destruction/conversion to energy as it neared the speed of light.
To me (a construction worker), this explanation resolves several questions I have about Physic’s.
1.) If the speed of light squared, is an achievable space for matter, and the majority of possible speeds from zero to the speed of light squared being well above the speed of light why is not most of the matter in the universe traveling faster than light speed.
2.) If a person falling in a Black hole is stretched out like a noodle as they speed up, how could matter possibly slow down to enter space-time. Matter would be landing in multiple places at once, the effect would be like a meteor entering the atmosphere.
3.) Why do galaxies speed up the further they travel from each other?
4.) Why an electron can be seen as a wave or a particle, because it interacting with a material that is faster than light, that travels on the surface of space-time.
5.) I do not have the ability to give you a diagram, so if you could imagine the effect over the span of the universe existence, like cannon ball trajectories landing on the surface of space-time, I believe it would explain why the effect would increase over time.
For my theory to be possible, all dark matter would have to be converted to dark energy prior to the end of the universe.
The total amount of dark matter if converted to energy would be equal to the energy required to accelerate all matter in the known universe to the speed of light.
I am not sure if dark energy and matter are converted back and forth repeatedly over the history of the universe, but I would suspect that the further you look back in time, you would see more Dark Matter and less Dark Energy.
Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts on the subject, I would be glad to hear some of the expanations of why my ideas are in error.

LoL I love Astronomy the colors are so lovely that if you over lay them you would get a good 3D image with the right glasses. lol As to the research ranting or not it is still very interesting. ^_^

Dark matter, as described in current physics, consists of particles that don’t interact with matter and light as we know it, or does so very weakly, with the exception of gravitation. The concept of dark matter was originally introduced to explain why galaxies rotate as fast as they do without all the matter flying off. There either was a flaw in Newton’s law of gravity or there was matter that couldn’t be seen. MOND, which stands for MOdified Newtonian Dynamics, was the competing theory to dark matter, and it required that gravitational effects drop off in quanta at extreme distances that allowed for a greater apparent effect. The math was quirky and no one seemed comfortable with it. Anyway, dark matter as a blanket term can also refer to cold normal matter like brown dwarves. The entire reason for dark matter is explain where the “rest” of the matter in the universe resides.
